Identify a risk assessment tool used in your state in the criminal justice system. Localize where this risk assessment tool is used, such as probation, parole, custody settings, and so on. The tool should measure risk to reoffend. Some examples are the LSI-R, LS/CMI, ORAS, CAIS, and COMPAS.

1. Describe the assessment tool.
2. Explain what the tool is meant to assess.
3. Describe how the information gained from the assessment is used.
