Ideal to use in situations where it may not be feasible to complete an LSI-R™ or LS/CMI™
The Level of Service Inventory-Revised: Screening Version (LSI-R:SV™) is a screening instrument that is ideal to use in situations where it may not be feasible to complete the Level of Service Inventory-Revised (LSI-R) or Level of Service Inventory/Case Management Inventory (LS/CMI) assessment for every offender. Research conducted with the LSI-R:SV shows that it is predictive of a variety of outcomes that are essential in offender management. The LSI-R:SV is able to predict violent recidivism and violations among probation samples while under community supervision, as well as institutional misconduct among incarcerated offenders. Furthermore, results from the LSI-R:SV are able to indicate offenders who may require a complete LSI-R or LSI/CMI assessment.

With the handscored format, you use an Interview Guide to complete the interview component and QuikScore forms to record your ratings based on interview and file information. With the software format, you can instantly generate Profile Reports upon completing the assessment.
