When does probation start if you are on parole?
This question makes no sense. Parole begins once released from prison and there is time remaining on the sentence. Probation starts when the Court sentences you to probation.
Who conduct the presentence investigation?
It depends entirely on the court system, the county, or the state you are in. In my experience a division of the county sheriff's office had investigators who conducted these investigations for the court system, but in others it could be a staff of court employees, or it could even be investigators from the probation and parole departments (although, considering their caseloads, probably not).
How is the enforcement of criminal law a factor in determining who is subjected to probation and parole?
In theory, the possibility of parole or probation is an element of motivating rehabilitation.In reality there is no correlation between enforcement of law and the granting of probation or parole. In reality probation is largely granted as a means of moderating the court calendar, and parole is granted on almost an entirely arbitrary basis, but with some attention to prison/facility census.
How are probationers and parolees monitored in the community?
Primarily by officers of the court called probation/parole officers.
When on probation are you not allowed to move before completing community service and paying the fines?
While on probation (or parole) you are NOT allowed to move without the authorization of the court.
What are probation and parole?
Probation and parole are very similar. They are both forms of supervision by the state or federal government, with standard and special conditions assigned to every defendant. A probation or parole officer is usually the same person who supervises both types of cases. There may be special types of probation and parole, which are handled by specially trained officers of those categories, such as for sex offenders and drug offenders. Probation is a sentence handed by the court, in which the offender is supervised by the state or federal government (either the state's Department of probation, Department of Corrections, or other similar agency, or the US probation department). If the offender violates any of the conditions of probation he can be arrested and returned to the court for hearing on such violation. The judge can then sentence the probationer to more probation, modify conditions of probation, community control (also known as house arrest), or incarceration. Probation can either follow incarceration or be given instead of incarceration (in the case of the former this is known as a split sentence). In states that have parole system (the federal government doesn't) parole may be granted to an inmate. Because parole is granted by the parole board of the Department of Corrections of that state, the offender is still considered inmate, and can be returned directly to prison without any jurisdiction of the courts if he violates the terms of his parole. The parole can range from a couple of years to the rest of what would be the offender's term of incarceration.
What states have both probation and parole?
All states have both. Probation is a term of supervision in the community that is sentenced by a Court. Parole is a term of supervision in the community following release from prison, usually for the remainder of a person's original sentence.

Can you leave the country if you are on probation for a punishment lower than a misdemeanor?
It depends on the specific terms of your probation. Generally, if you are on probation for a lesser offense than a misdemeanor, you may still be able to leave the country with permission from your probation officer or the court. It is important to obtain clearance before traveling internationally to avoid any potential legal consequences.
What does revocation of probation or parole requires?
Revocation is ordered. when conditions set. Are not met in respect of the court or judicial services. And the standards in effect.
What is the difference between a probation and correction officer?
Parole - conditional release from prison incarceration.Probation - a type of conditional release from jail or a sentence modification in lieu of jail time. Some states also permit probation for a sentence modification in lieu of prison.
Can you go out of state if your a convicted felon?
Depends. If you are currently on probation or parole you need to contact your officer before even leaving the county! If you are no longer on probation or parole you are good to go as long as you're only leaving the state. Other countries are a problem. I'm actually trying to figure out some laws myself!
