Revalidation of the custody rating scale for Indigenous women offenders / Laura McKendy, Andrew Woodard & Leslie Anne Keown. : PS83-3/476E-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). Regarding use of the CRS for Indigenous women offenders, previous studies have noted a high degree of concordance between the CRS and OSL, as well as the tool's predictive validity with respect to institutional outcomes (Blanchette, Verbrugge, & Wichmann, 2002; Barnum & Gobeil, 2012). Providing an updated analysis, the present study re-examines use of the CRS among Indigenous women offenders admitted to federal custody between 2013/2014 and 2018/2019. The analysis includes women admitted on a new sentence, or Warrant of Committal (WOC; N = 708), as well as women readmitted to custody following a failed conditional release (N = 290)"---Executive summary, page iii.
