This study examined whether risk/need assessment results coincided with the placement of defendants into six types of sanctions among convicted adults from 11 counties in one state. Crosstabulations highlighted that individuals’ risk/need levels corresponded to the placement of low‐risk/need individuals to probation and high‐risk/need individuals to prison; however, intermediate sanctions were rarely used for any risk/need level and some low‐ and moderate‐risk/need individuals were sentenced to prison when convicted of offenses that do not typically result in incarceration.

朝着风险/需要的明智制裁模式发展政策

这项研究检查了风险/需求评估结果是否与在一个州的11个县的被定罪成年人中将被告人置于六种类型的制裁中相吻合。交叉表突出显示，个人的风险/需要水平对应于低风险/需要的人被判处缓刑，高风险/需要的人被判入狱；但是，很少将中间制裁用于任何风险/需要等级，并且一些中低风险/需要个人因被判罪而通常被判入狱，而这些罪行通常不会导致监禁。
