Civil Liabilities of Parole Personnel for Release, Non-Release, Supervision, and Revocation

摘要

In recent years there has been widespread concern about the legal liabilities of correctional officials and practitioners arising from the performance of their duties. Increasingly the Institute has heard from parole decision makers and administrators that current parole liability information is needed. We have found little current or substantive practitioner-oriented written material on the subject of liability as it applies to parole personnel. The topic of parole-related liabilities is an emerging issue, both in legal arenas and in the environment of state and local parole decision making. It is our hope that information contained in this monograph will be especially helpful to parole decision makers and administrators who are analyzing current practices and their legal implications.
