Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. 212 pages. W H Pearce "Caring for offenders on parole" / D J West "Parole in England" / J Irvin Waller "Parole for the ex-prisoner: carrot, stick or illusion?" / Vincent O'Leary and Daniel Glaser "The assessment of risk in parole decision making" Historical Pivot Point: Written just a few years after the formalisation of the UK parole system via the Criminal Justice Act 1967, the book captures a period when release shifted from an unregulated executive privilege to a structured risk-assessment process.Transatlantic Comparison: The text directly compares the burgeoning British parole board framework with various state and federal systems operating in the United States.Key Themes Addressed Risk Assessment Realities: The essays critique the methods used by boards to determine whether a prisoner's potential for rehabilitation outweighs the safety risk to the public.The "Selection Effect": The book touches upon early debates regarding whether parole programs genuinely reduce reoffending (recidivism) or if boards simply get better at selecting the lowest-risk inmates for early release.Discretion vs. Consistency: It examines the tensions between giving parole boards broad discretionary powers to evaluate an individual's progress and the growing demand for standardized, predictable sentencing.
