Abstract: The Level of Service Inventory-Revised (LSI-R) is a risk/needs assessment tool that is widely used in correctional settings. Extant research has demonstrated the predictive validity of the LSI-R for individuals under correctional supervision. yet, few researchers have assessed whether the LSI-R and its various subcomponents predict prison misconduct similarly for White versus non-White inmates. Using data collected from male inmates confined in prisons across a Midwestern state, we examined the predictive vali… Show more

“…Although overall results support the view that risk assessment tools are equally valid for males and females, it is important to investigate whether the inclusion of gender-specific items would further improve the predictive ability of risk assessment measures for females (Yesberg et al, 2015). It is also important to acknowledge that the generalisation of risk assessment measures to other minority offender populations, such as different ethnic groups, has also been challenged by the results of various studies that suggest a reduction in the accuracy of risk-assessment tools for non-White populations within North America (Chenane, Brennan, Steiner, & Ellison, 2015;see Shepherd, Luebbers, & Dolan, 2013, for review).…”

“…Indeed, as noted by van Eijk [35], criminologists and legal scholars have criticised risk assessment tools for their potential bias against racial/ethnic minorities and women, which could result in sentencing disparities, e.g. [14,4,32]. As noticed by Skeem and Lowenkamp [32], criminal his-tory mediates the relationship between race and future arrest.…”

“…Moreover, differently from (some) humans, machines lack the ability to expose and discuss their biases. This is raising significant concerns on the impact of machines on human activities 3 and society organisation, 4 to mention a few. That is because, arguably, using a machine without knowing in the minimal details the way it has been programmed, is similar to ask a mystic oracle whose pronouncements have to be believed by faith [23].…”

“…Éste recoge las cuatro grandes áreas que mejor predicen la conducta delictiva: historia delictiva, apoyo social para cometer delitos, actitudes u orientación procriminal y las características personales y emocionales más importantes del individuo (Andrews y Bonta, 1994). Desde la primera investigación donde se demostró la validez predictiva de este instrumento, han sido muchos los artículos publicados (Andrews, 1982;Bonta, 1989;Chenane, Brennan, Steiner y Ellison, 2015). La versión para jóvenes de dicho instrumento se corresponde con el Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI, Hoge y Andrews, 2002), el cual emplea el juicio clínico estructurado para evaluar el riesgo general de reincidencia en menores infractores, y se diferencia de su antecesor por la composición de los ítems en función de la edad de los sujetos, otorgando mayor importancia a la familia y a los problemas sociales, y menos al empleo.…”
