“…Parole release decisions are typically made under considerable time pressure and board members are often provided with large volumes of file information for each offender (Gobeil & Serin, 2009). In this context board members may simplify their decision-making process and focus on key variables considered to be associated with performance on parole and recidivism (Gobeil & Serin, 2009).…”

A discretionary parole decision-making process is maintained in multiple jurisdictions internationally. There is a lack of contemporary research examining the factors that influence discretionary parole decisions, particularly in an Australian context. Moreover, there is no known research examining the relationship between these factors and the likelihood an offender will successfully complete their parole order. The current study investigated which factors were significantly associated with: (1) the parole decisions made by the Adult Parole Board of Victoria, Australia; and (2) the cancellation of an offender's parole order, in a sample of 146 violent offenders. Four variables emerged as significant predictors of the parole decision: aggressive disciplinary incidents; the Violence Risk Scale (VRS) total score; the Community Corrections Officer's (CCO) recommendations for release; and confirmed accommodation. At the multivariate level, the VRS total score and the CCO's recommendations remained significant predictors. With regard to parole cancellation, a range of factors were significant at the bivariate level; these included: a history of drug abuse; total prior convictions; aggressive disciplinary incidents; the VRS total score; previous parole cancellations; the CCO's recommendations; confirmed accommodation; and family support. However, family support emerged as the most important predictor in multivariate analysis. These findings provide valuable feedback to members of parole boards regarding the factors that influence their release decision and the factors subsequently linked to parole cancellation.

“…Atliekant tyrimą paaiškėjo, kad komisijos nariai dažniau pritardavo paleisti lygtinai nuteistas moteris, taip pat seksualinio pobūdžio nusikaltimus padariusius nuteistuosius. Tuo tarpu komisijų nariai dažniau nepritardavo smurtautojų artimoje aplinkoje lygtiniam paleidimui (Gobeil & Serin, 2009). Gauti duomenys parodė, kad dauguma tyrimo dalyvių, priimdami sprendimą, vadovavosi informacija apie kalinių nusikalstamą riziką bei paleidimo planą.…”

Straipsnyje analizuojama asmenų lygtinio paleidimo iš pataisos įstaigų problematika Lietuvoje. Kokybinio tyrimo metu gilintasi į lygtinio paleidimo iš pataisos įstaigų komisijų darbą, taip pat buvo nagrinėjami teisėjų darbo ir sprendimų priėmimo ypatumai. Tyrimo tikslas: atlikus interviu su teisėjais ir lygtinio paleidimo iš pataisos įstaigų komisijų nariais nustatyti pagrindines priežastis, kodėl lygtinio paleidimo taikymas Lietuvos teismų praktikoje nuo 2003 m. iki 2015 m. nuolat mažėjo ir šiuo metu lygtinai paleidžiama mažiau asmenų, nei atlikusių visą bausmę. Straipsnyje pateikiamos išvados turėtų padėti teoretikams ir praktikams pamatyti lygtinį paleidimą teisėjų ir lygtinio paleidimo iš pataisos įstaigų komisijų narių akimis bei paskatinti dialogą tarp sprendimus priimančių teisėjų, pataisos namų darbuotojų, visuomenės atstovų.

“…Among forensic patients, there have been few studies examining factors associated with decision to approve leave (McDermott, Scott, Busse, Andrade, Zozaya, & Quanbeck, 2008) and factors underlying these decisions (Gobeil & Serin, 2009). McDermott and Thompson (2006) argue that, compared to the use of structured assessment by clinicians, "the need for data-driven decisions in forensic systems tasked with making release decisions is even more critical" (p. 110).…”

“…Callahan and Silver (1998) found variability in leave decisions were influenced by an interaction of system structures and individual characteristics of patients. Gobeil and Serin (2009) suggested that parole board members are not following guidelines as intended and vary in the type of information taken into account when forming these important decisions.…”
