Volume 78 Number 3

December 2014
Abstract: 

The authors outline what they see as the untapped potential of the Post Conviction Risk Assessment (PCRA) as a basis for effective supervision, including what they term the potential drivers of the risk factors captured by the PCRA. They also provide examples of interventions officers use to address the drivers, and discuss ways supervisors can encourage officers to apply the risk assessment to their daily supervision tasks.
