Chapter 1 Introduction -- Chapter 2 The present study -- Chapter 3 The practicalities of parole-board decision-making -- Chapter 4 Public opinion and parole board decision-making -- Chapter 5 Strategies for increasing public confidence in parole -- Chapter 6 Engaging with an emotional public in a precarious time.

This book explores key issues in relation to parole and public opinion, including the relevance of public opinion to parole boards decision-making and strategies for increasing public confidence in parole. It presents the findings of semi-structured interviews with 80 members of parole authorities in 12 jurisdictions, across Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Scotland. Unlike judicial processes, which are open to the public, there is little awareness of and research on the work of parole authorities. This book therefore shines a light on a little-understood, but hotly-contested, aspect of the criminal justice system. Specifically, it explores differences across the study jurisdictions and considers how parole authorities in the four study countries view public attitudes, as well as the role of the media in shaping public attitudes towards parole. The book also considers whether public reaction matters for parole board decision-making and the interplay between informing the public and offender reintegration. It explores a range of strategies which may improve public confidence in parole and therefore the criminal justice system more broadly. This includes consideration of the value, definition and possibility of public confidence. The authors then discuss both passive forms, such as parole authority websites, publication of decisions and social media, before examining active forms of engagement, including an information/liaison officer, roadshows and community fora. Robin Fitzgerald is Associate Professor at The University of Queensland, Australia. She is the Bachelor of Arts Criminology Major Convenor at the School of Social Science. Shannon Dodd (née Buglar) is a lecturer in criminology at the Thomas More Law School, Australian Catholic University. Lorana Bartels is Professor of Criminology at the Australian National University (ANU) and Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Canberra (UC) and University of Tasmania, Australia. She was previously the Criminology Program Leader at ANU and the Head of the School of Law and Justice at UC. She is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Law. Arie Freiberg AM is Emeritus Professor at Monash University, Australia. He was Dean of the Faculty Law at Monash University between 2004 and 2012 and previously Chair of the Victorian and Tasmanian Sentencing Advisory Councils. He is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Law and Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia.
