LSI-R

Level of Service Inventory-Revised

D.A. Andrews, Ph.D. , James Bonta, Ph.D.

The predecessor to the LS/CMI, the most widely used and researched risk/need assessment


LSI-R

Overview

Overview

The Level of Service Inventory–Revised™ (LSI-R™) is a quantitative survey of offender attributes and their situations relevant to level of supervision and treatment decisions. Designed for ages 16 and older, the LSI-R helps predict parole outcome, success in correctional halfway houses, institutional misconducts, and recidivism. The 54 items included in this tool are based on legal requirements and include relevant factors needed for making decisions about risk and treatment.

In place of the LSI-R, we advise you to consider purchasing the Level of Service/Case Management Inventory™ (LS/CMI™)a fully functioning case management tool and assessment that measures the risk and need factors of late adolescent and adult offenders. The LS/CMI has refined and combined the 54 LSI-R items into 43 items in Section 1. Ten additional comprehensive sections have been incorporated to further assist public safety professionals in analyzing offender management.

Profile Reports summarize the results of an individual administration, providing scores for all scales.

Validity / Reliability

The LSI-R has strong reliability and validity, which has been demonstrated in the many studies presented in the Technical Manual. The reliability and validity studies include the evaluation of:

  • Inter-rater reliability
  • Test-retest reliability
  • Internal consistency reliability
  • Face validity
  • Construct validity
  • Relative validity
  • Discriminant validity

The Canadian normative data for the LSI-R consists of 1,414 women (M age = 26.89) and 956 men (M age = 30.2). The men were from Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre, the Hamilton-Wentworth Detention Centre, and the Toronto Jail. The females were from a medium-security institution for adult women operated by the Ontario Ministry of Correctional Services.

The U.S. normative data for LSI-R consists of 19,481 inmates from seven departments of corrections throughout the U.S. and 4,240 parolees and probationers from seven samples in four U.S. states. The sample includes 17,622 male inmates (M age = 34.51), 1,859 female inmates (M age = 34.26), 3,523 male community offenders (M age = 34.58), and 717 female community offenders (M age = 34.65)
