A Very British Compromise
View through CrossRef
The chapter explores the impact of Roy Jenkins’ appointment as Home Secretary and the detailed legislative planning that resulted in the complex system of parole given legal effect by the Criminal Justice Act 1967. It goes on to examine the administrative steps taken in 1968 to establish the new parole system and limit the damage of a small number of high profile crimes committed by the first cohort of parolees. The chapter concludes by reflecting on the idiosyncratic operation of parole in England and Wales at this time; a very British compromise that would exert a significant influence over the trajectory of early release policy and practice in the subsequent thirty years.
