Description
The aim of this study was to assess whether Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory Australian Adaptation (YLS/CMI-AA) risk/needs data improve recidivism prediction for young offenders under community supervision, compared to static risk data from the Bureau’s Reoffending Database (ROD).
It was found that YLS/CMI-AA data did not significantly improve the predictive accuracy of static risk-based models of recidivism for Indigenous or non-Indigenous offenders. Validation methods suggested that the results may not generalise beyond the current cohort.
