In the 1950s the United States enjoyed a broad-based, unprecedented level of prosperity. Rising purchasing power, expanding credit, and a rapidly growing advertising industry stimulated consumerism. One industry that rapidly developed and expanded was the automobile industry. During the 1950s, Americans purchased 58 million cars. By 1960, 75 percent of American families owned one. The automobile created mobility on a scale not known before, and the automobile industry became a vital element in the economy. It became one of the world’s major manufacturing industries. The automobile dramatically impacted American society, whether you owned one or not.

For this assignment, you are the court intake processor at a federal court where you handle offender intake. You have been assigned to write a 700- to 1,050-word report assessing different risk assessment methodologies. Risk-Needs-Responsivity is a model. Do not use RNR for this paper. Qualitative and Quantitative research are both models. Do not use either for this paper. Visit this resource and select TWO assessments from those in this resource. There are six. (Use this link to chose Assessments https://ncsc.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/criminal/id/473/rec/1 ) Correctional Assessment and Intervention System (CAIS): Developed from the Wisconsin Risk and Needs (WRN) instruments and the Client Management Classification (CMC) planning guide, CAIS is a comprehensive system designed for assessing and intervening with individuals in the correctional system. It aims to identify the risks and needs of offenders to guide appropriate interventions and programming. Correctional Offender Management Profile for Alternative Sanctions (COMPAS): COMPAS is a tool used for assessing the risk of recidivism and criminogenic needs among individuals under correctional supervision. It provides a profile that aids in decision-making regarding appropriate sanctions and interventions, particularly for offenders in alternative programs. Level of Service Inventory-Revised (LSI-R) and Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (LS/CMI): LSI-R is a widely used assessment tool for evaluating an offender’s risk level and criminogenic needs across various domains. LS/CMI is an updated version that includes case management considerations, aiding in the development and monitoring of intervention plans. Offender Screening Tool (OST): OST is a screening tool used to quickly assess an individual’s risk level and needs upon entry into the correctional system. It helps identify individuals who may require further assessment and intervention. Ohio Risk Assessment System (ORAS): ORAS is a risk assessment system developed specifically for use within the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. It aims to predict an offender’s likelihood of recidivism and identify their criminogenic needs to inform supervision and intervention strategies. Static Risk and Offender Needs Guide (STRONG): STRONG is a tool designed to assess an offender’s static risk factors and criminogenic needs. It focuses on factors that are relatively stable over time, such as criminal history and demographics, to guide decision-making in correctional settings. Specifically, format your paper as follows using Times New Roman, size 12 font, double spaced. Your reference page should be double spaced using a hanging indent. Use APA Style for the entire paper, here is a sample formatted paper Sample papers – APA Style Title Page Introduction (one paragraph) (two paragraphs) Select two risk assessment methodologies to analyze: one risk assessment methodology for intake process and a different risk assessment methodology for reentry into society. (two paragraphs) Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the risk assessment methodology related to the intake process. Answer the following question in your paper: How does the methodology look at risks related to the offender such as sex, age, criminal history, substance abuse, and behavior health needs? (two paragraphs) Discuss advantages and disadvantages of the risk assessment methodology related to reentry into society. Answer the following questions in your paper: How does the methodology look at family situations? How does the methodology look at employment possibilities? How does the methodology look at services such as health care and mental health and housing? Conclusion References Cite at least 2 resources using APA format.
