Quantitative examination of program overrides and community outcomes for women offenders / Angela Smeth & Dena Derkzen.: PS83-3/458E-PDF
"Effective February 5, 2018, the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) changed its policy for correctional program assignments, where program intensity levels are based on the Criminal Risk Index (CRI). The CRI is a tool used to assess static risk and guide offender intervention levels. A recent evaluation of Correctional Reintegration Programs prior to the implementation of the CRI found that more than half of the women offenders who completed programming were overridden into a program as they did not initially meet the program selection criteria. The purpose of this study was to conduct a quantitative examination of correctional program overrides and community outcomes for women offenders using the CRI as the primary program referral tool. Analyses were conducted with an admission dataset (N = 709; 34% Indigenous), which included all women offenders whom were admitted to federal custody between February 1, 2018 and December 31, 2019. Follow-up data was collected until December 31, 2021"---Executive summary, page iii.
