This Issue in Brief

handle is hein.journals/fedpro66 and id is 3 raw text is: June 2002 THIS ISSUE IN BRIEF We open this issue of Federal Probation by reprinting two articles written by Richard A. Chappell, one of the original eight federal probation officers appointed in the 1920s, and Supervisor of Probation and Division Chief from 1937 to 1953. Mr. Chappell, who died last fall just short of his 100t' birthday, contributed many articles over the years to Federal Probation, for which he also served as an early editor. We chose two articles that recount his recollections of the early days of the federal system that he served with moral and intellectual clarity, and unapologetic idealism. Looking Back at Federal Probation-Richard A. Chappell 3 -Recollections of Early Years Originally published in the December 1975 issue of Federal Probation. -Federal Probation Service-Its Growth and Progress Originally published in the October-December 1947 issue of Federal Probation. September 11 th and the Crisis Response for the Federal Courts 11 In the wake of the terrorist attacks on September 1 ith, the author was one of a team of crisis intervention specialists who traveled to New York to assist the federal court in the 2nd district in coming to terms with this unprecedented experience. The author explains the theory and practice of the Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) crisis intervention model, and offers suggestions for managers preparing future crisis responses. Mark J. Maggio The State of Sex Offender Probation Supervision in Texas 16 Sex offender supervision has become a specialized area of community correctional supervision in the past decade. The Texas Sex Offender Supervision Survey has been conducted since 1996 to assess the prevalence of various measures used to supervise sexual abusers on community supervision in Texas and to monitor trends in field supervision, specialized conditions of supervision, and monitoring of offenders' use of the Internet. Brian McKay Validity and Utility of the Kentucky Sex Offender Registry 21 The author draws on data of537 registered sex offenders on the Kentucky Sex Offender Registry to assess the potential for sex offender registries to provide useful information about sex offenders. Results show that more than one-third of all registered sex offenders do not have photographs accompanying their listings and more than one-quarter of all urban registrants do not have addresses provided, or have addresses that are either commercial listings or are non-existent. Richard Tewksbury A Comparison of Oral Specimen Collection and Laboratory Urinalysis Among Baltimore City Arrestees 27 Oral fluid testing to assess recent drug use is compared with laboratory urinalysis for sensitivity and specificity. The authors also interview arrestees on this less invasive method. With laboratory urinalysis as the reference model, the oral collection device was 95 percent sensitive and 98 percent specific for cocaine and 90 percent sensitive and 99 percent specific for opiates. Eric D. Wish, George S. Yacoubian, Jr. Federal Probation Joins the World of DNA Collection 30 As of December 2001, federal probation officers were directed to begin collecting DNA samples from certain classes of convicted offenders, to expand the number of DNA samples in the national index maintained by the FBI. The author explains the rationale for DNA testing, the history of its forensic use, and the nature of the federal probation system's involvement in it. Nancy Beatty Gregoire
