What does LS CMI stand for?
Level of Service/Case Management Inventory
All correctional agencies in the state are required to assess offenders using an actuarial risk and needs assessment tool called the Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (LS/CMI).
What is the LS RNR?
The LS/RNR assesses the rehabilitation needs of offenders, their risk of recidivism, and the most relevant factors related to supervision and programming. Key Features: Focuses on offender strengths and is gender-informed. Captures general and specific risk/need factors.
What is CMI in social work?
The LS/CMI system is designed to assist professionals in management and treatment planning with adult and late adolescent male and female offenders in justice, forensic, correctional, prevention, and related agencies.
What are the dynamic risk factors?
Dynamic risk factors (DRF) are changeable features of individuals and their environments which predict higher rates of reoffending. They are also referred to as “criminogenic needs” and there appears to be consensus that they are at least potential causes of criminal behavior (Bonta & Andrews, 2017; Mann et al., 2010).
What are criminogenic needs?
Criminogenic Needs are factors in an offender’s life that are directly related to recidivism. Research has identified six factors that are directly related to crime: low self-control, anti-social personality, anti-social values, criminal peers, substance abuse and dysfunctional family.
Does RNR reduce recidivism?
The RNR model outlines the basic principles of risk, need, and responsivity to generate effective interventions for offender populations with the ultimate goals of improving treatment for offenders and reducing recidivism (Andrews & Bonta, 2010).
What are responsivity factors?
Responsivity factors are personal characteristics of a youth, or of his/her circumstances, that can increase and/or decrease the youth’s ability and motivation to improve from particular interventions. Responsivity factors can be static (e.g., intelligence) or dynamic (e.g., readiness for change, mental health issues).
What are the 3 A’s you should consider when completing a dynamic risk assessment?
To carry out a dynamic risk assessment, an individual should:
- Identify the risk. Staff should first be able to spot and acknowledge a source of risk.
- Assess the risk. Workers should then measure the risk of the developing situation.
- Consider the tools they have to mitigate the risk.
What are the 8 criminogenic factors?
According to meta-analytic research, the eight most significant criminogenic needs are: antisocial behavior; antisocial personality; criminal thinking; criminal associates; dysfunctional family; employment and education; leisure and recreation; and substance abuse.
What is a risk needs assessment?
Risk and needs assessments use an actuarial evaluation to guide decision making at various points across the criminal justice continuum by approximating a person’s likelihood of reoffending and determining what individual criminogenic needs must be addressed to reduce that likelihood.
