3	The parole process from a South African perspective Louw, Francois Christiaan Marthinus 11 1900 (has links) The transformation of the Department of Correctional Services into an institution of rehabilitation and the promotion of corrections as a societal responsibility brought a new dimension to the release policy of South Africa. A new Correctional Services Act 111 of 1998 came into effect and the Department of Correctional Services published a White Paper on Corrections during 2005. The idealistic correctional goal of protecting the community while rehabilitating the offender has served as a reason for conducting research into the parole process from a South African perspective. The qualitative aim of the study is to explore parole as a phenomenon and to describe the process involved in successfully reintegrating an offender into the community. The significant role that Correctional Supervision and Parole Boards play in the parole process and the emphasis they place on community safety, the interest of the victim and the rehabilitation and control of offenders as part of their mission statement are highlighted in the study. / Penology / M.A. (Penology) White Paper on Corrections 2005 Victim Social reintegration Restorative justice Rehabilitation Recidivism Profile report Parolee Parole Offender Determinate sentence Community corrections Correctional centre Case Management Committee 364.620968 Parole -- South Africa Probation -- South Africa Correctional law -- South Africa
