Commenting on the Parole Board's Annual Report, Liberal Democrat Justice spokesperson Robert Brown MSP said:
"This report indicates that proper assessment and monitoring by the Parole Board is more successful than the automatic early release system. The Scottish Government needs to take this on board during its consideration of changes in this area.
"The report shows that the number of offenders taken back into custody after being automatically released is substantially higher than the number released by the parole board.
"It makes it very clear that the system needs to be one that the public understands and trusts."
