I have interned as a probation officer....
The way i experienced it was that you are given a caseload and they consist of juveniles ranging from low-high risk. Based on their risks, you either meet with them at home, school, work, your office, scheduled U/As, court etc. You have to log all relevant information so that you can report back to your supervisor and the judge.
Thats the jist of it.....there are other things like community planning and things of that nature.
p.s. Dont get preachy with them, they already get that at home. Be their friend if they are complying and be an a*****e when they aren't.

The official duties of juvenile probation professionals vary from State to State and can even differ between jurisdictions with-in a single State. Nonetheless, a basic set of juvenile probation functions includes: intake screening of cases referred to juvenile and family courts, predisposition or presentence investigation of juveniles, and court-ordered supervision of juvenile offenders. Your degree in Psychology will be much more helpful in that position than a degree in Criminal Justice.

Well, if you're not decided to turn him into a Born Again Christian, you need to tell him to avoid the likes of the Chapman family.
Don't be born-again.
