Typical offender risk factors include a history of antisocial
behavior, an antisocial personality, antisocial cognition,
antisocial associates, family and/or marital problems, school or
work problems, leisure or recreation problems, and substance abuse.
Though there are roughly 66 risk assessment instruments that
measure these factors, only 19 of them are in wide use. Of these
tools, micro-level and personal factors are included on typical
risk instruments while external or macro-level matters are not.
Community Risk and Protective Factors for Probation and Parole Risk
Assessment Tools: Emerging Research and Opportunities is an
essential research publication that explores tools for predicting
recidivism rates among incarcerated individuals. The study provides
evidence for an alternative explanation for a still prevailing
notion that recidivism is primarily a result of personal/internal
failings (such as mental illness or cognitive impairment) versus
external/societal ones. Featuring a wide range of topics such as
affordable housing, policy reform, and adult education, this book
is ideal for criminologists, sociologists, law enforcement,
corrections officers, wardens, therapists, rehabilitation
counselors, researchers, policymakers, criminal justice
professionals, academicians, and students.
