Abstract: Offender screeningfor classification has become increasngly popular in correctionalfield services. The most common approach uses objective risk and need scales to classify offenders, a strategy designated as "model" by the National Institute of Corrections. However, adoption of this system raises managerial problems, especially concerning selection of scale cutoffs and adoption of supervision standards. The significance of these problems is illustrated in this article by data from several organizations currently engaged in offender screening.
