The identification of release potential in the Romanian Prison Service / prepared by Larry Motiuk and Leslie-Anne Keown.: PS82-4/17-8E-PDF

"The Romanian Prison Service (RPS) has been developing an integrated assessment approach to identify candidates with good potential for release decisions. Upon psychometric review of an initial algorithmic equation, it was found that efficiencies and predictive improvements could be made. Consequently, a revised equation was derived from a reduced set of items that when scored and aggregated could yield improved probability estimates of release decisions. The present study examined the initial and revised equations for reliability, predictive validity and practical utility of sentenced Romanian offenders"--Why we did this study.
