Rhetorical Precis

In their article, "The Risk of Failure During the Early Parole Period: A Methodical Note," John Berecochea, Alfred Himelson, and Donald Miller, assert the issue of how parole is likely to be broken within the first six months that an offender is granted parole. They back their claim up by giving examples of where males and females have broken parole and also include data and evidence of the trends within newly released criminals. In order to show how the system can be improved upon, the authors include fictional situations in which there could be parole system fall out, they also include evidence pertaining to the involvement of those parole officers in the first few months of an offenders parole. The audience of this article is concerned with the current state of our parole system.
