led to the cautious operation of the scheme thus far, and it is because
of
this caution
that
the early results have been encouraging. Those
who advocate the expansion
of
the scheme to include large numbers
of long term serious offenders must accept
that
these men are greater
"risks"
and that the "failure" rate will inevitably be higher. How
high a "failure" rate are we prepared to tolerate and what types of
"failure"
can we safely ignore? These are questions which, if they
haven't
been asked already, will have to be asked in the future: and
they will have to be answered.
