'This is an essential book for anyone concerned, in any capacity, with the work of the Parole BoardIt collates all the relevant statutory and other legal material relevant to the Board, and gives detailed practical guidance as to the way in which the Board works - The authors' clear understanding of their subject matter, and their practical experience of the way in which the Board operates, makes their invigorating comments all the more authoritative. This book is therefore extremely welcome.' Sir David Latham, Chairman of the Parole Board (from the foreword). 'Finally, after all these years, someone has published a book detailing the powers, procedures and processes of the Parole Board. The fact that so few criminal firms bother with prison work, despite it falling within the general criminal contract and being a natural adjunct to their main work, is the paucity of written material on the subject matter. This is a quite superb book, written with clarity and authority, ideally suited to anyone looking for an introduction to this intellectually stimulating and fast-paced area of law. The authors are two of the most respected names in the field; they combine a sometimes rare feat in being able not only to practise at the highest level in their field, but also in being able to identify and explain to a beginner the core knowledge needed. Everything is covered, from licence recall to lifers, and they have even remembered to mention the all important funding arrangements.' Andrew Keogh, Crimeline.
