If you have a better system in mind, briefly explain it. Be professional, open-minded, and courteous. The goal is not to bash the American judicial system, but to pose the hard questions and to set the stage for learning more about probation and parole through the rest of the course.

You are thinking of conducting phone and/or face-to-face interviews. What are the advantages and disadvantages of face-to-face or phone interviews in this situation? Would a structured or unstructured interview best serve the purpose? Develop a list of ten interview questions appropriate for this scenario.
