Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore the complex factors associated with informed consent in probation and parole settings.
Design/methodology/approach
The author conducted a literature review exploring informed consent in correctional settings. To identify articles for review, the author searched electronic peer-reviewed literature databases for articles on: informed consent, corrections, probation, parole, voluntariness, and coercion.
Findings
There is evidence in the literature to suggest that the informed consent process is significantly more complicated within correctional settings than in civilian contexts. The use of implicit and explicit coercion and determining an offender’s voluntariness status may be a problematic prospect unique to the setting. This manuscript makes recommendations to ensure informed consent is truly obtained and to safeguard client welfare.
Originality/value
There is a paucity of literature on providing mental health services in probation and parole settings. Furthermore, this paper is unique in discussing factors associated with the informed consent process in that context.

Abstract
The following paper is based on some research work carried out by the author while studying at the Centre for Information Science, City University, London in 1982. The original work concentrated on the Prestel system, but has for the purposes of the present paper been broadened out as far as possible to encompass videotex in general. A fairly extensive literature review has also been carried out to bring the coverage up to date.
