Discuss the different assessments of classifications for treatment

What will be an ideal response?


Inmates are assessed when they enter prison to determine which treatment would be most effective. Some common classification systems used are risk assessment and needs assessment. The risk assessment is used to assign inmates to high-, medium-, and low-risk case loads. The needs assessment is used by staff to record prisoners' problems, as well as the magnitude of these problems. A common assessment used is the LSI-R.
