Parole decision-making in Canada : research towards decision guidelines / Joan Nuffield.: JS22-65/1982E-PDF

" ... A random sample of 2,500 full-parole decisions in order to determine which factors were most strongly related to the outcome of the decisions. The results of this analysis were used to form a "model" or abstract description of the decision-making process. It was found that the seriousness of the offences was not relatedin a consistent fashion to the rate at which parole was granted. Rather, the study revealed that various offender characteristics were significant to the full-parole decision, characteristics which were in turn related to the probability that the offender would be re-arrested after release" Abstract, page iv.
