Fig. 7-3-5-2 shows the parole revocation rate by type of offense from 1996 to 2005 using statistical data on parolees at the time of termination of parole supervision (see Part 2, Chapter 5, Section 2, 4 for the parole revocation rate in 2006).

Fig. 7-3-5-2  Parole revocation rate by type of offense (accumulative total from 1996 to 2005)

  The parole revocation rate is 6.8% with overall offenses, with most parolees completing their term of sentence in the community without any further incident.
  Offenders whose revocation rates are relatively low are those who committed assault and injury, for which the periods of parole are short, and the revocation rates with offenders who committed homicide and rape, for which the parole periods are long, are also relatively low.
  On the other hand, the parole revocation rates with offenders who committed property offenses, such as theft and fraud, are high when compared with the overall rates, with the rate for theft offenders of 11.3%, in particular, standing out above those with other offenses.
