Description
The goals of this study were to determine how the proposed classification instruments would change the distribution of offenders at each custody level, examine offenders who would change to a much higher or lower custody level, calculate the percentage of overrides and override reasons, and determine how well the instrument predicts offender behavior and which items drive custody level.
