This book explores key issues in relation to parole and public opinion, including the relevance of public opinion to parole boards decision-making and strategies for increasing public confidence in parole. It presents the findings of semi-structured interviews with 80 members of parole authorities in 12 jurisdictions, across Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Scotland. Unlike judicial processes, which are open to the public, there is little awareness of and research on the work of parole authorities. This book therefore shines a light on a little-understood, but hotly-contested, aspect of the criminal justice system. Specifically, it explores differences across the study jurisdictions and considers how parole authorities in the four study countries view public attitudes, as well as the role of the media in shaping public attitudes towards parole. The book also considers whether public reaction matters for parole board decision-making and the interplay between informing the public and offender reintegration. It explores a range of strategies which may improve public confidence in parole and therefore the criminal justice system more broadly. This includes consideration of the value, definition and possibility of public confidence. The authors then discuss both passive forms, such as parole authority websites, publication of decisions and social media, before examining active forms of engagement, including an information/liaison officer, roadshows and community fora.

The Parole Board for England and Wales is an independent body that makes decisions on the release of prisoners. The Board works alongside the HM Prison Service and the probation service when deciding on the release of offenders from custody. In the 2006-07 period the Board handled 25,000 cases, a 31 per cent increase from the 2005-06 period. This NAO report, examines the following areas in how the Board works, including: whether the members of the Board are well equipped to make decisions; whether the Board manages its workload in a timely and efficient way; whether the Board has adequate processes for reviewing its performance and learning lessons. The NAO has set out a number of recommendations, including: the Ministry of Justice should, alongside the Parole Board, examine the composition of the Board's membership to consider whether is can be more representative; that the Board should continue to monitor closely the amount of time members are making available for casework; that the Board should introduce a template to record reasons for all parole decisions; that the Ministry of Justice needs to produce more realistic workload forecasts and also introduce a target which covers the entire process of providing information and holding hearings for indeterminate sentenced prisoners (sentences given to prisoners for public protection and life sentences); that the Board should review random samples of some completed cases to assess the quality of the reasons for the decision taken.

The Parole Board (the Board), a Non-Departmental Public Body sponsored by the Ministry of Justice, is responsible for deciding whether an offender is suitable for release from custody on parole. The Board's workload of cases to assess has more than doubled in a five year period. The balance has also shifted from more straightforward paper based hearings to more resource intensive oral hearings, where the offender attends and is questioned. This increase in workload stems from the rising prison population and new sentencing regimes. The Board's administrative performance is undermined by a lack of capacity to hear cases, and it often does not receive the key information required to make their assessment on serious offenders. The Prison and probation services have been unable to provide the timely and complete information necessary for the efficient and effective running of the parole process. There are further problems with the oral hearings: two-thirds of oral hearings have not been held in their planned month and 20 per cent of hearings have been held more than 12 months late. These delays are unacceptable and costly - direct costs of £1 million in 2007-07, and nearly £2 million costs to the Prison Service in keeping offenders who should have been released or transferred to open conditions. These costs are significant when set against the Board's net expenditure in 2007-8 of £7.4 million, and the Board needs to administer hearings more effectively. The Board should also be more independent, and its membership more accurately reflect the composition of society.

This book is a collection of essays by a unique group of authors about the political destruction of the probation service in England and Wales. All of them are probation officers turned academics, with a collective scholarly output that is both prodigious and distinguished. They address the history of probation, its underlying values and working methods, and the way it has been systematically dismantled by successive political administrations. The book offers essential reading for those interested in broadening their understanding of the probation service and its vital role in rehabilitation. In addition it makes a compelling case for the reinstatement of an evidence-based probation service as the primary criminal justice agency concerned with helping people who come before the courts to become contributing citizens. A lively and engrossing read, it is destined to be invaluable to policy makers, social science theorists and commentators, as well as scholars of criminology and the justice system, and all those who work in it.
