Abstract

Drawing on research in Northern Ireland into the process of release under the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement, this article explores the identifi cation and classifi cation of risk in relation to prisoners released early under the Sentences (NI) Act. The main argument is that confl ict, post-confl ict and transitional conditions expose more starkly the political underpinnings of risk-management strategy and the article demonstrates the particular variant of Politicized Risk Assessment (PRA) recently used in the release of prisoners in Northern Ireland.
