In this research we compared the results of two decision‐making processes. The first process relates to the Early Release Committee for prisoners, which has a discretionary power to release prisoners who have served twothirds of their sentence. The second process involves the use of the same variables as those which were available to the release committee in the course of its decision‐making process, to obtain a computer decision. It was found that the committee was wrong in 75.4% of its decisions, while the computer was wrong in only 30.3%. Some implications of this are discussed
