假釋審查決意影響因素──以DEMATEL探究男監女監之差異

The Factors that Influence Parole Decision-making: Using DEMATEL to Analyze the Differences between Male and Female Prisons

受刑人的假釋准駁與否與各監獄假釋審查委員的決定有相當大的關連，已有許多相關研究顯示，假釋審查決意受到多重因素之影響。然而，假釋審查委員在決策時，眾多因素中何者較為重要；又或各個因素彼此間如何影響，亦即假釋審查委員內在主觀考量構面間之相互影響關係為何，目前仍欠缺探討，且現今相關研究少有聚焦於女性監獄所為。因此本研究以DEMATEL法分析女監假釋審查委員主觀決意因素，並針對男監與女監假釋審查委員主觀決意因素差異進行比較，以探究男監與女監與女監假釋審查委員主觀決意因素是否有差異。研究結果顯示，不論女監或是男監之假釋審查委員在判斷假釋與否的決策時，假釋申請人的「犯罪情狀與態度」與「犯罪前科與紀錄」的重要性最高。女監與男監假釋審查委員決意最大的差異在於：與女監的假釋審查委員相較之下，男監之委員較不重視受刑人的「在監表現與考核」。 The parole rejection/approval of inmates is subject to the decision-making of parole board members of the respective prisons. Studies have found that parole decision-making is affected by multiple factors. However, the relative importance and mutual influences between the factors that parole board members consider during the parole decision-making process is rarely discussed. Furthermore, the studies of decision-making factors that influence choices for parole have mainly focused on the parole board of men's prisons. It is the intention of this study to show the difference between factors influencing parole decisionmaking on parole boards of both men's and of women's prisons. The results show that the major factors affecting the decision-making of parole boards are “crime characteristics” and “criminal records.” Further, when compared to the parole board of men's prisons, the parole board members of women's prisons pay more attention to inmates' behaviors in prison.
