Review of the Latest Research on Use and Validity of the Level of Service Inventory-Revised (LSI-R)

Publication year: 2009 | Cataloged on: Jul. 28, 2009
ANNOTATION: The utilization and effectiveness of the increasingly popular Level of Service Inventory-Revised (LSI-R) and its revised versions are assessed. Sections following an abstract include: the LSI-R and the LSI-R: SV; LSI-R use and applicability; LSI-R and offense types; LSI-R and race/ethnicity; LSI-R and gender; LSI-R and mental health populations; LSI-R and non-US or Canadian populations; LSI-R management; and conclusion. This White Paper finds, with some qualifiers and provisos, that "properly administered, the instrument remains a very useful tool [for offender risk assessment in both sentencing and corrections]" (p. 7).
