Community supervision officer training programs aim to translate core correctional practices into routine practice. These training programs emphasize skill-building designed to shift supervision strategies from law enforcement/compliance-oriented to a focus on promoting and supporting behavior change. Despite evidence of their effectiveness, research finds trained officers use newly learned skills infrequently. The current study examined the impact of a policy, implemented post-training, designed to encourage trained officers to use skills emphasized by the Staff Training Aimed at Reducing Rearrest (STARR) training program more frequently. The current study examined the effectiveness of this policy on the frequency and type of skills used by officers in their interactions with individuals on their caseload. Analyses suggested the policy mandate was effective in increasing skill use, however officers still used trained skills in less than half of their interactions. Implications and considerations for increasing the use of skills are discussed.
社区监督官培训计划旨在将核心矫正实践转化为常规实践。这些培训计划强调技能培养，旨在将监督策略从执法/合规导向转变为关注促进和支持行为改变。尽管有证据表明这些培训计划有效，但研究发现，受过培训的官员很少频繁使用新学到的技能。本研究考察了一项政策的实施对培训后鼓励官员更频繁地使用 Staff Training Aimed at Reducing Rearrest (STARR) 培训计划强调的技能的影响。本研究考察了该政策对官员在与案件中的个人互动中使用技能的频率和类型的有效性。分析表明，政策要求有效地增加了技能的使用，但官员在其互动中仍不到一半的情况下使用受过培训的技能。讨论了增加技能使用的影响和考虑因素。
