CTA 2010: Offender Recidivism Profiles: Using Computers to Analyze Offender Risk & Needs Patterns for Safer Releases
Posted 07.22.2010
An underlying assumption in risk assessment is that offenders likely to recidivate have characteristics in common, while those who can be safely supervised in the community have things in common. Unfortunately, knowing which characteristics to pay attention to hasn't been easy because the important characteristics vary from offender to offender. Fortunately, the application of advanced pattern analysis software is making this a much easier task. Even though recidivists & non-recidivists have things in common, pattern analysis can identify the important characteristic that makes a given individual a higher risk. Cost implications of improved risk assessment are also discussed, along with ways human error can enter the process. Be sure to watch Dr. Edward Dow of Modeling Solutions as he presents at CTA 2010.
