About this eBook
Parole Board Decisions examines the complex role of parole boards within the criminal justice system, focusing on how they balance public safety with the potential for rehabilitation. Parole boards face the difficult task of evaluating an individual's risk of recidivism and potential for successful reintegration into society. One key aspect explored is the influence of factors beyond objective risk assessment on parole board decisions, which can lead to inconsistencies in outcomes. The book delves into the historical context of parole, tracing its evolution and how societal changes have shaped current practices. It highlights how parole decisions impact prison populations and the reintegration prospects of formerly incarcerated individuals. Through empirical data, case studies, and statistical analyses, the book reveals patterns and disparities in parole outcomes across different states.
The book's approach involves understanding the core concepts of parole and risk assessment, analyzing the factors that influence parole board decisions, and discussing policy recommendations. Ultimately, Parole Board Decisions argues for greater transparency and standardized evaluation metrics in the parole process. It aims to stimulate dialogue on improving the criminal justice system by addressing the political pressures and personal biases that can influence parole board decisions. The book progresses through an introduction of parole concepts, analysis of influencing factors, and culminates in policy recommendations for safer communities.
