Security Classification Using the Custody Rating Scale

In this portion of a series of 24 research/evaluation reports, the authors examine the effectiveness of the Custody Rating Scale (CRS) against a variety of operational indices, the degree of concordance between the security classification ratings and actual placement decisions, the effects of overriding the scales, and the applicability of the scale to aboriginal and female offenders. They conclude that, as the use of the CRS has increased, the concordance rates have improved in most regions and that scale has had been shown to offer a valid method of assigning a security level to offenders.
