Community sentences in Jersey: Risk, Needs and Rehabilitation

This report summarizes the main results of an analysis of data collected by the Jersey
Probation and After-Care Service since the introduction of the Level of Service
Inventory (Revised) (LSI-R, Andrews and Bonta 1995) as a new method of risk and
need assessment to support the preparation of social enquiry reports and the
evaluation of progress during supervision. The data available for this report concern
1380 offenders assessed in Jersey using LSI-R between Autumn 1996 (when LSI-R
was introduced) and the end of June 2001 (the latest qualifying point for inclusion in
the reconviction study with adequate follow-up). This study builds on previous data
presented in the report Risk, Needs and Re-offending: Evaluating the Impact of
Community Sentences in Jersey, (Raynor and Miles 2001).
