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 justice-involved individual. Research conducted with the LSI-R:SV shows that it is predictive of a variety of outcomes that are essential in justice-involved individual 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 justice-involved individuals. Furthermore, results from the LSI-R:SV are able to indicate justice-involved individuals who may require a complete LSI-R or LSI/CMI assessment.
