Parole as an Effective Way to Lead to Better Behavior

I chose an article to test the use of parole using deterrent theory as an effective way to improve the behavior of imprisoned prisoners. The title of this article is "Parole as a control system" in the March 2000 issue of "Prison Journal": test of specific deterrence and crime fraud. Many past studies including other deterrence theories are mentioned in this article and some people found a positive correlation between a penalty and a decline in inappropriate behavior.

The problem related to probation observation and parole issue is that the judge, the parole committee, the probationer and the prisoner of parole set too many conditions and not enforce enforcement. . For example, at the abstention level (ie, unauthorized and unreported and / or the offender leaving the area), up to 10% of the trial population has abstained at any time but another 15% has no grace due to failure It was interrupted under the conditions of probationary observations indicating that. There are similar failure modes for parole. This suggests that we need to rethink our current approach to criminal management in the community environment.

Those who are responsible for the effective application of parole release and probation proceedings since the past 30 years have received favorable references in the practical world. Since behavior tolerance is zero, these behaviors are considered to be annoying behaviors rather than predecessors of criminal behavior, showing a stern attitude towards crime through severe punishment, probationary observation and parole I want it. Impact of political emotions Although there is no evidence to support this belief, some practitioners and policy makers are promoting violations as strengthening public security.

A common misunderstanding about parolees is that prisoners' good behavior is only accepted on parole on imprisonment. Behavior is certainly a factor, but the Parole Committee considers many other factors such as the prisoner's age, marriage, custody, mental status, criminal record and so on. In addition, Parole's Board of Directors will consider the severity and circumstances of the crime, the time to make a judgment, and whether the criminal is willing to repent the crime. Prisoners who establish permanent residence rights and are unable to demonstrate ability or willingness to find work after liberation rarely receive parole, regardless of other factors.
