SummaryRisk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) assessment is the dominant framework for structured assessment of justice-involved people, scoring an offender's criminogenic risk and needs to decide who receives intervention, what should be targeted, and how it should be delivered. Formulated by Donald Andrews and James Bonta, it organizes the strongest predictors of reoffending into the 'Central Eight' and converts them into a total risk score that guides the intensity of correctional supervision and treatment.The Level of Service Inventory-Revised (LSI-R) is a 54-item actuarial assessment of offender risk and need that operationalizes the Risk-Need-Responsivity model. Items spanning ten criminogenic domains are scored and summed into a total that places an offender in a recidivism-risk band, making the LSI-R one of the most widely used and validated correctional case-management instruments in the world.
