Excerpt from Methods of Supervising Persons on Probation: Report of a Committee Appointed by the New York State Probation Commission to Investigate and Make Recommendations Concerning Methods of Supervising Probationers
Probation work in the courts, authorized by law and publicly salaried, 'was first established in America forty years ago, the original Massachusetts probation law having become effective April 26, 1878. Massachusetts was in advance of any other state in establishing publicly salaried probation work in her courts, but volunteer and unofficial work along lines similar to probation was carried on in many states even before the Massachusetts law. Rhode Island, Illinois, Minnesota, Vermont and New Jersey passed probation laws in 1899 and 1900, and the State of New York in 1901. The appointment of salaried probation officers was, however, not generally authorized in New York State until 1905.
