The parole system of England and Wales is contrasted with that of Canada. Recent reviews of the system have taken place in both countries. There is agreement between the reviewing bodies on the centrality of risk assessment to parole. In the Canadian case, this concern extends to the development and maintenance of statistical predictors to make the system consonant with its stated purpose. Despite the existence of an excellent statistical basis for similar developments in England, the possibilities are all but unmentioned by the review there, and are neglected by the system as it operates. It is held that the Canadian system is developing a dynamic for achieving its stated goals, while the English system is failing to do so.

The chapter describes findings from a research project carried out in collaboration with one UK police force. The project was designed to examine and understand the force's welfare practices towards officers accused of misconduct and the impact of prolonged misconduct investigations on the mental health and wellbeing of police officers, specifically police officers who were subsequently exonerated. The aim was to identify new opportunities for mental health support, points of avoidable delay, demotivation and embitterment, and stressreducing possibilities throughout the misconduct process, and to produce a simple and clear evidence-based set of recommendations for improvement.
