I have to set up a proposal for an interview in my college course. I have to interview a person in the criminal justice field (more than likely a probation officer) and need to come up with at least 15 questions to ask.
I am not asking for anyone to do my work for me as I am more than capable, I am just looking for new ideas or some really good questions that I didn't think of.
Thanks in advance for anyone who helps!!
