The adjustment of the Security Reclassification Scale for Women (SRSW) : elimination of administrative segregation / Kaitlyn Wardrop.: PS83-3/431E-PDF

"In the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) security classification occurs at admission to federal custody and throughout incarceration to ensure that offenders are placed at security levels that are appropriate to manage their risk of institutional misconduct, including violence and threat to public safety in the event of an escape. The Security Reclassification Scale for Women (SRSW) is an actuarial tool which, in conjunction with professional judgement, contributes to women’s security reviews following initial placement. Recent changes in the use of segregation in CSC and the expected elimination of the use of segregation with the passage of Bill C-83 will affect one particular item in the SRSW pertaining to the offender having a history of segregation placements. This research examined how the psychometric properties of the SRSW would be affected by the elimination of this item and whether the continued use of the tool with the item removed is advisable"--Executive summary, page iii.
