Validation of the custody rating scale for Black men offenders / Laura McKendy, Andrew Woodard & Leslie Anne Keown.: PS83-3/474E-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 in turn 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). Prior validation studies have examined the validity of the CRS for Indigenous and non-Indigenous offenders, however, the tool's validity for Black offenders has yet to be assessed. As part of a series of validation studies, the present analysis examines the validity of the CRS for Black men offenders admitted to federal custody on a Warrant of Committal (WOC; N =1,813) or following a revocation of conditional release (N = 428) between 2013/2014 and 2018/2019"---Executive summary, page iii.
