N2  - While much work has been done on the problem of parole prediction, little has been done to validate the prediction tables in use. What studies have been made to test the validity of prediction tables show contradictory and inconclusive results. The follow-up study reported here shows a remarkable accuracy in prediction based on a method devised by Ernest W. Burgess.<p />
