Offender Classification and Assessment

8/9/07 12:20 PM Page 25. Jones and Bartlett Publishers. NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION. Offender Classification 2. and Assessment Offender Classification and Assessment are two related but distinct processes in the operation of the prison system and community corrections. Both processes permeate the correctional processes from admission to the correctional system and incarceration through sentence completion, release, and postincarceration supervision (Austin, 2003). Classification and Assessment are typically performed by correctional coun- selors who have three goals in mind: (1) the public's need for protection and community safety; (2) the identification and matching of Offender needs for treatment and management with correctional resources; and (3) the improve- ment of correctional operation and performance while reducing costs and re- cidivism (Lauren, 1997).

eral offending populations, the LSI-R was not developed for sexual offenders or mentally disordered offenders. The total number of checked items on LSI-R provides a total score; the higher the score, the greater the risk of criminal behavior. Correctional author-ities may use offenders’ scores on LSI-R to categorize them at three risk levels.
