As a probation /parole officer with 100 open cases, the client who with all intent is attempting to comply with the requirements of his supervision yet is unable to obtain the required GED, the use of technical violations/ condition modification would seem appropriate in this case. Based on the information received from the instructor and psychological evaluation located within the Presentence Investigation or PSI (2012), the need to further punish this individual is unnecessary as the individual is not capable of attaining the goal set by the parole board. Because the probation / parole officer has the discretion to issue technical violations and condition modifications (2012), a request for modification of the requirements for this client

Through MI, officers give the probationers an opportunity to reflect on themselves which in turn enables them to grasp a clearer understanding of themselves to develop insight into their own behavior and its need for change (Durnescu, 2012, p. 198). The use of MI consist of a number of tools including the use of open questions, to facilitate open (tell all) responses; affirmation, to induce positive reinforcement and acknowledgment; reflection, to assure reception and induce explanation; and summary, to illustrate understanding of key concerns (Cook, et al., 2013, p. 5).
