Best Answer

If more probation officers are hired on, then the case loads will be smaller, but because it's "cheaper" by having one probation officer take the amount of work, that would take two officers to carry properly, they continue to load more cases onto the existing ones.

If the crime rate goes down, then there will be less of a need for prisons and jails, and for correctional officers, but that is less likely to happen. If more people are thrown back into jail for violating their probation, or let go on good behavior, a probation officers caseload will decrease significantly.
