Revalidation of the custody rating scale for non-Indigenous women offenders / Andrew Woodard, Laura McKendy & Leslie Anne Keown.: PS83-3/475E-PDF
"The Custody Rating Scale (CRS) is an instrument employed by the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) to assist in determining an offender's initial security classification. The CRS is comprised of two subscales, Institutional Adjustment and Security Risk, with scores informing a CRS designation of minimum, medium, or maximum security. As per Commissioner's Directive 705-7, the CRS is used in conjunction with structured professional assessment of an offender's institutional adjustment, escape risk, and public safety risk to determine an appropriate Offender Security Level (OSL). Previous studies have determined that the CRS holds predictive validity and is appropriate for use among women offenders (Blanchette, Verbrugge, & Wichmann, 2002; Barnum & Gobeil, 2012). As part of a series of revalidation studies, the current study examines the validity of the CRS for non-Indigenous women offenders admitted to federal custody on a Warrant of Committal (WOC, N = 1,414) or a revocation of conditional release (N = 280) between 2013/2014 and 2018/2019"--Executive summary, page iii.
