New Risk Instrument for Offenders Improves Classification Decisions

Publication year: 2009 | Cataloged on: Apr. 21, 2009
ANNOTATION: Results are provided from an evaluation of Washington State's Offender Accountability Act's (OAA) static risk assessment instrument. Sections of this report are: summary; background; risk classification; study population; defining recidivism; and findings. The present RLC (Risk Level Classification) system is better at predictive accuracy for recidivism (re-convictions) than the past RMI (Risk Management Identification) system.
