Abstract: The current study assessed the predictive validity of nine dynamic risk factors in two samples of justice-involved individuals (n=24,972) to identify promising targets for correctional programming. The study also tested the incremental predictive validity of dynamic risk relative to static indicators of recidivism risk (i.e., criminal history, age and sex).
