Abstract
Uniform Parole Reports data on parolees now allow the use of more than 100,000 case records in the scrutiny of patterns of parole violations as these relate to commitment offense groups. For this exploration, it was postulated that parolees viewed as "dangerous" would be most likely to be returned to prison as technical viola tors, those "dangerous" persons being typified by such commit ment offenses as Willful Homicide, Aggravated Assault, and Forcible Rape. The results suggest that property offenders are not held to the same standard of parole performance as are person offenders, in that person offenders are much more frequently coded as techni cal violators though their parole violation rates are consistently far below those of property offenders. It is suggested that this de facto policy has implications for society. A hierarchy of "dangerousness," based on violation patterns, is discussed.
