Under what act is the process of parole governed?

The process of parole is governed by the Crimes (Sentencing Procedures) Act 1999. This Act provides the legal framework for sentencing and includes provisions relating to how parole is applied, including eligibility and the conditions under which parole may be granted. It is specifically focused on the sentencing process in New South Wales and addresses how offenders can be supervised in the community after being released from prison under certain conditions.

The other acts listed do not primarily deal with the process of parole. For example, the Crimes (High Risk Offenders) Act 2006 focuses on managing high-risk offenders and the conditions under which they may be supervised post-release, but does not serve as the overarching legal framework for all parole matters. The Crimes Act 1900 primarily addresses substantive criminal law rather than parole procedures, and the Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002 deals mostly with police powers and responsibilities during investigations rather than sentencing or parole processes.
