Scholarly Works
Anglo-American parole owes its theoretical development and its early systematization, indeed its very existence, to France. It has been said that France has the genius of invention, but that too often the great ideas born in France are neglected there to find their baptism of success in other countries.

This section will trace briefly the history of conditional liberation the French counterpart of Anglo-American parole, and describe the development of the …
