The National Flagging System: Identifying and Responding to High-Risk, Violent Offenders
Publication year:

ANNOTATION: The effectiveness of the National Flagging System (NFS) to track potential offenders, who, should they reoffend, would be labeled as a Dangerous Offender (DO) and/or Long Term Offender (LTO) is investigated. This report contains the following sections: executive summary; the present study; method; results according to a comparison of the profiles of FOs and HROs (High-Risk Offenders), the recidivism of FOs, and the application for DO and LTO designations; and discussion of limitations of findings, implications, and suggestions for future research. While the NFS is successful in identifying those offenders who are most likely to reoffend, use of the NFS results in infrequent DO and/or LTO application.
