Level of Service Inventory-Revised

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.
