Criminal risk index validation for Indigenous and non-Indigenous men / prepared by Larry Motiuk and Ben Vuong.: PS82-4/23-35E-PDF

"The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) administers a comprehensive, systematic, and automated Offender Intake Assessment (OIA) process to produce an individualized correctional plan for all federally sentenced offenders. The OIA has two core components: Static Factors Assessment (SFA) and Dynamic Factors Identification & Analysis-Revised (DFIA-R). One subcomponent of the SFA, the Criminal History Record, is comprised of 38 indicators covering previous youth and adult criminal justice system involvements as well as current offence(s). Previously published research has found that a Criminal Risk Index (CRI) comprised of the 38 Criminal History Record indicators yielded a total score and 5-level risk groupings that predicted both discretionary release and failure. In practice, the CRI was developed to assist in appropriately referring men (Indigenous, Non-Indigenous and Inuit) to program stream and intensity level of the Integrated Correctional Program Model (ICPM) multi-target and sex offender programs. The purpose of this study was to confirm whether the 5-level groupings remained a robust predictor of recidivism when the validation data were disaggregated for Indigenous and Non-Indigenous men."
