The more recent, the better. Remember that an opinion needs to be supported / backed up / defended in academic writing. Direct quotes are not permitted, instead, paraphrase and cite.

You have just been assigned a "client" who was just released on parole after serving two years of a two-to-five-year sentence for aggravated assault, a conviction that stems from repeatedly striking her boyfriend with a baseball bat.

What conditions would you "require" while she is on parole, and why? Be extremely specific and detailed when responding.  You have several "issues" to contend with, so think outside the box by applying your critical thinking / problem solving skills when determining the conditions of parole.
