ANNOTATION: The development and validation of an actuarial risk prediction instrument are explained. Topics in the overheads of a presentation include: benefits and drawbacks to actuarial risk prediction; each recidivism outcome offers something different (i.e., arrest, conviction, return to custody); a number of outcomes can be predicted in corrections; CSRA based on Washington State's static factor only instrument; CSRA uses multiple data sources, has 22 items to predict recidivism, and scores offenders on three types of "nested" sub-scales; CSRA performs within usual range for risk assessments; and divides the population into distinct risk groups (i.e., low, moderate, high drug, high property, and high violent).
