LSI-R: Level of Service Inventory-Revised
The Level of Service Inventory-Revised (LSI-R) is a 54-item assessment instrument developed by Andrews and Bonta (1995) to measure offender risk level and criminogenic needs (dynamic risk factors related to criminal behavior) in criminal justice populations. It is grounded in the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) model of offender rehabilitation and is widely used in correctional facilities, probation/parole services, and forensic settings to inform release decisions, supervision intensity, treatment prioritization, and rehabilitation planning.
