Tricky Parole – When Prisoners Deny Guilt (On Demand)

Online

The question of parole has many aspects. For counsel, probably the most challenging cases involve deniers. In this On Demand, our legal and psychology experts from Aotearoa and the United Kingdom will address the matter of denial, its functional roles, the implications for case formulation, how it is dealt with by parole boards here and in England and Wales, and the treatment of deniers.


Who should watch?

Anyone involved, or looking to become involved, in parole hearings.
