Applying the Ohio Risk Assessment to Misdemeanants
2
Purpose of Risk Assessment To provide a consistent means to assess offenders To provide a valid measure of risk To provide a measure of risk that can be used in decision making

CASE STUDY
11
Who Is More Likely to Reoffend? 1 st time DUI Drinking at a bar with friends Crossed the double yellow line.12 BA Employed Has a driver’s license States “The cop was just doing their job” “It is not ok to drink and drive” Family that supports sober lifestyle Friends got a cab 1 st time DUI Drinking at a bar with friends Crossed the double yellow line.12 BA Unemployed Driving w/o a license States “The cop was out to get me” Everyone gets one DUI Family who engages in alcohol use on a regular basis Friends played “who is the most sober” 11
12
Multiple DUIs/Domestic Violence Criminal History Family Education and Employment Neighborhoods Substance Abuse Peers Antisocial Attitudes
13
What Are the Barriers? Time High Demand Single Need Defendants/Offenders
14
Methods Identified individuals in the ORAS database that were assessed through Municipal Court Completed the full ORAS-CST Minimum of 11 month follow-up
15
Recidivism The Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway (OhLEG) was used to examine recidivism for each offender in the sample –Minor traffic violations (e.g., speeding) were excluded Recidivism was measured as arrest for a new crime –Later measures (e.g., convictions) need a longer follow- up period than 11 months –Arrests in the community allow CST to identify criminogenic needs that are likely to result in danger to the community

Courts were also Asked the Following Follow-Up Questions: What was the offender charged with (i.e., what brought the offender to your court)? Was the offender’s charge related to any of the following offenses: –DUI, Domestic Violence, Violence, Substance Abuse / Drugs If offender’s charge was related to substance use / drugs, identify type of drug: –Cocaine, Marijuana, Heroin, Prescription, Other (specify)

* Some variables do not total 1,722 due to missing data
22
Current Community Supervision Assessment (CST) Instrument 35 items across 7 domains Takes 45 minutes to complete (on average) Provides overall level of risk to reoffend Level of risk by domain (criminogenic needs) Developed on a range of offenders including misdemeanor and felony offenders
23
Current ORAS-CST Domains 1.Criminal History (6 items) 2.Education, Employment, and Finances (6 items) 3.Family and Social Support (5 items) 4.Neighborhood Problems (2 items) 5.Substance Use (5 items) 6.Peer Associations (4 items) 7.Criminal Attitudes and Behavioral Problems (7 items)
24
Validating the CST for Misdemeanor Offenders Only Examined the validity of full CST on a misdemeanor only population Modified cutoffs to best fit population

Misdemeanor Assessment Tool New tool has 11 items Strongest predictors from CST Primary Factors: –Criminal History –Employment and Education –Drug use –Criminal Peers –Criminal Attitudes Approximately 15 minutes
47
ORAS-MAT Most Serious Arrest Under Age 18 –0 = None –1 = Yes, Misdemeanor –2 = Yes, Felony Number of Prior Adult Felony Convictions –0 = None –1 = One or Two –2 = Three or More Highest Education –0 = High School Graduate or Higher –1 = Less than High School or GED Ever Suspended or Expelled From School –0 = No –1 = Yes Currently Employed –0 = Yes, Full-time, Disabled, or Retired –1 = Not Employed, or Employed Part- Time Better Use of Time –0 = No, Most Time Structured –1 = Yes, Lots of Free Time Drug Use Caused Problems –0 = None –1 = Past –2 = Current Drug Use Caused Problems with Employment –0 = No –1 = Yes
48
ORAS-MAT Criminal Friends –0 = None –1 = Some –2 = Majority Contact with Past Criminal Peers –0 = No Contact with Criminal Peers –1 = At Risk of Contacting Criminal Peers –2 = Contact or Actively Seeks Out Criminal Peers Criminal Attitudes –0 = No/Limited Criminal Attitudes –1 = Some Criminal Attitudes –2 = Significant Criminal Attitudes
