According to Miller (1992 , the National Center on Institutions and Alternatives (NCIA ) showed a report that almost 42

of the population of African American minorities in Washington DC is subjected to juvenile delinquency cases . While in Louisiana , a 1 ,407 youth committed juvenile delinquency . The portion of 238 youth (17 ) were committed for physical attack succession 24 (1 .7 ) for homicide 139 (9 .8 ) for robbery and 107 (7 .6 ) for sex offenses

Because of the alarming news and impact of juvenile delinquency in the society , the government of United States made a program to lessen the impacts and cases of juvenile delinquency . Children who commits the case were been rehabilitate in a rehabilitation center to put in to realization the crime they had committed and how to escape from the dis of their behaviors . Parole and probation are both part of the rehabilitation program . Dressler (1959 ) defined parole as the release of the delinquent outside the rehabilitation center under supervision of a parole officer . The release is unconditional and the behavior of the delinquent is being monitored . While probation is the release of the delinquent to the community in which he can rehabilitate his behavior better . The delinquent under parole program had stayed in the rehabilitation center . Both parole and probation programs are made to change the behavioral problems of the offenders . They believe that rehabilitation can be made better to the offenders if they stay in a community than staying in prison . In the parole program , offenders are given the second chance to change their behaviors , as well in the probation program . The offenders tend to learn their lesson after they undergone in this two programs
