Hines Edward Banks, Ph.D. George Mason University Avinash Singh Bhati, Ph.D. Maxarth, LLC Knowledge Management Coordinator Bureau of Justice Assistance Summary of Key Risk-Related Assumptions • Risk Assumption # 1: High risk offenders comprise approximately 20% of the state prison population; 80% of these offenders are predicted to fail (re-arrest) within 3 years of release from prison. • Risk Assumption # 2: Moderate risk offenders comprise approximately 50% of the state prison population; 60% of these offenders are predicted to fail (re-arrest) within 3 years of release. • Risk Assumption # 3: Low risk offenders comprise approximately 30% of the state prison population; 40% of these offenders are predicted to fail (re-arrest) within 3 years of release. • Risk Assumption # 4: High rate re-offending: a small proportion of all releases (12%) account for a significant proportion (34.4%) of all crimes committed (35 or more total arrests, pre and post release) by the release cohort (Langan & Levin, 2002). About half of all high risk offenders are high rate offenders; high rate offenders are rarely classified as medium or low risk. Summary of Key Need-Related Assumptions • Need Assumption #1: 40% of High risk offenders will have both a significant substance abuse problem and a criminal thinking problem that needs to be treated; in addition, these offenders will require stabilization in one or more additional need areas (work, family, marriage, and education). • Need Assumption #2: 50% of High risk offenders will have criminal thinking problems that need treatment; these offenders will have 3+ other criminogenic needs. • Need Assumption #3: 40% of Moderate risk offenders will have a significant substance abuse problem and a criminal thinking problem that needs to be treated; in addition, these offenders will require stabilization in one or more additional need areas (work, family, marriage, and education). • Need Assumption #4: 50% of Moderate risk offenders will be substance abuse dependent and have 3+ criminogenic needs. Summary of Key Need-Related Assumptions • Need Assumption #5: 30% of Moderate risk offenders will have 3+ criminogenic needs that do not include substance abuse. • Need Assumption #6: 20% of Low risk offenders will have a significant substance abuse problem and a criminal thinking problem that needs to be treated; in addition, these offenders will require stabilization in one or more additional need areas (work, family, marriage, and education). • Need Assumption #7: 90% of High rate offenders will have a significant criminal thinking problem that needs to be treated; in addition, the majority of these offenders will require substance abuse treatment and stabilization in one or more additional need areas (work, family, marriage, and education). Summary of Key Responsivity Assumptions • Responsivity Assumption #1: High risk offenders who receive treatment in at least two of designated high need areas will fail at half the rate of high risk offenders who do not receive treatment. • Responsivity Assumption #2: Moderate risk offenders who receive treatment in designated high need areas will fail at half the rate of moderate risk offenders who do not receive treatment. • Responsivity Assumption #3: Low risk offenders who receive treatment in designated high need areas will fail at half the rate of low risk offenders who do not receive treatment. • Responsivity Assumption # 4: High rate offenders who receive treatment in at least two of designated high need areas will fail at half the rate of high rate offenders who do not receive treatment. Reducing failure in this subgroup of releases will have a larger overall crime reduction effect than reducing failure among lower rate offenders.
