Quantitative examination of program overrides and community outcomes for women offenders.: PS83-5/R458E-PDF

"In 2018 the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) changed its policy for correctional program assignments, adopting the Criminal Risk Index (CRI) to guide decision-making regarding offender program intensity levels. Using the previous program selection criteria, an evaluation of Correctional Reintegration Programs (CSC, 2020) found that more than half of the women who completed programming were overridden into a program for which they did not initially meet the selection criteria. Women who received an override to moderate intensity and women who initially met the program selection criteria for moderate intensity experienced comparable rates of any revocation when risk relevant differences were controlled. The purpose of this study was to conduct a quantitative examination of program overrides and community outcomes for women offenders using the CRI as the primary program assignment tool."
