“…From this study, it is evident that peppermint oil has an effect on sleep apnea. So further research will be carried on by a larger population and peppermint oil may be used to treat people having sleep disturbances [15].…”

Sleep disturbance or disruption is common among patients within the age limit 25-45. They often feel tired during the day time. During wakefulness which also causes sleep problems. Sleep disturbance associated with the sense of well-being, health, emotion regulation, and productivity, memory and cognitive functions. The main aim of this study is to prove the impact of peppermint oil on sleep apnea. The sample size of this study was 25 individuals and they were selected randomly. The peppermint oil is taken in a few amounts and massaged in the forehead while before sleeping. They were instructed to apply 2-3drops of oil on their forehead or spray on the pillow before going to bed. This has to be followed for 30 days. The sleeping hours and sleeping disturbances were recorded before and after using oil inhalation. Before the use of peppermint oil the sleeping hours was an average of 6.4±0.82 and after the use of peppermint oil the sleeping hours increased to an average of 7.1±1.03. Before the use of peppermint oil Sleep disturbances were of average 3.3±1.02 and after the use of peppermint oil the sleeping disturbances have been decreased to an average of 2.1±0.92. Data was collected and analysed using statistics. Peppermint oil has an effect on sleep apnea and it helps to overcome. From this study, it can be seen that a positive perception has been obtained towards the population.

“…Hence, even though many respondents reported using a risk and needs assessment tool and expressed attitudes supportive of their use, some of their practices (i.e. weighing present offense characteristics more heavily at release than risk assessment) and other research on parole (see, for example, Mathews et al, 2020; Rhine et al, 2017) indicate that PAs have much more work to do to improve implementation of the risk, need, and responsivity principles in the real-world setting. PAs not only impact prison growth (Reitz, 2020), but they have the capacity to set a foundation of EBP for parole supervision.…”

While much research in community corrections examines ways in which direct supervision can reduce recidivism, less is known about the role of paroling authorities in using or supporting evidence-based practices. This study presents a selection of results from a survey of paroling authorities across the United States conducted in 2015. We analyze and discuss survey results on the following three topics: (1) What is the structure and power/authority of the paroling authorities? (2) What are the appointments and requirements of paroling authorities? and (3) What evidence-based practices are paroling authorities utilizing? These results demonstrate the state of evidence-based practices in parole decision-making and illustrate ways in which paroling authorities can implement policies and practices that promote sustainability of evidence-based practices in community supervision. The findings indicate that many paroling authorities have adopted policies supportive of evidence-based practices; however, there are some areas in which parole can create continuity and promote better application of them.

“…The recommendations that follow are also guided by the research and literature informing evidence-based practice (Cullen, 2013;Goodman et al, 2017;Mathews et al, 2018). Paroling authorities are well-positioned to become contributors to a new evidence-based standard of practice calling for lower prison populations and higher parole release rates in many jurisdictions.…”

“…A renewed interest in paroling authorities has emerged focusing on the need to rethink and retool discretionary parole release. A growing chorus of voices within universities, law schools, and justice-oriented advocacy organizations are now calling for the reform or revitalization of parole (Aviram, 2020;Beckett, 2018;Ghandnoosh, 2017;Mathews et al, 2018;Paparozzi & Caplan, 2009;Paparozzi & Guy, 2009;Rhine et al, 2017;Tonry, 2016). Since 2014 the Robina Institute of Criminal Law and Criminal Justice within the University of Minnesota's Law School has conducted research and produced a diverse portfolio of publications on paroling authorities, in addition to working with three states' parole boards on reforms tailored to their systems (Georgia, Kansas, and Pennsylvania).…”

Paroling Authorities and the Challenge of Leverage in an Era of Chronic Mass Incarceration

This chapter points to a notable renewal of interest in paroling authorities emerging alongside the nation's fitful transition from a historically unprecedented period of growth in rates of imprisonment to the new normal of chronic mass incarceration. In a majority of states, paroling authorities possess varying degrees of leverage that when exercised may increase or decrease, sometimes dramatically, states' prison populations. This chapter explores the proposition that parole decisionmaking may have contributed to the long arc of mass incarceration. It goes on later to challenge paroling authorities in forthcoming years to exercise the leverage they possess to support an agenda of decarceration or prison downsizing. The groundwork for doing so has been established by a tangible shift in discourse and farreaching efforts supportive of sentencing and correctional reform. The actual capacity to pursue meaningful prison downsizing must necessarily confront the bifurcation of contemporary penal policy manifest in harsh statutory barriers that rigidly sort nonviolent from violent offenders, often banishing the latter from parole or release consideration of any kind. Providing a strategic path forward, this chapter presents five recommendations for parole boards committed to prison downsizing within a framework that is justice-centered, informed by evidence-based practice, and inclusive of individuals serving time for both violent and nonviolent crimes.
