Bart is a parole officer and Lionel is a probation officer in the same district. Explain what contact standards are and how and why the contact standards used by Bart and Lionel differ.
What will be an ideal response?
A sample answer follows. Contact standards are rules that tell how often a parole or probation officer must meet with a client, and they tell how and why they are supposed to meet. Bart most likely deals with more dangerous offenders than Lionel does, so Bart will have to meet with his clients more often and place them under tighter scrutiny than Lionel's clients. Bart's clients are considered more dangerous because they have actually served time in prison and are seen as a greater threat to harm other citizens.
