Please use the proforma provided in the assignment folder, and ensure you review the marking
criteria. Index offence: list the offenders current charges / convictions, again copying directly
from Assignment 1. Make any corrections as per feedback provided from Assignment
1.
4. Provide a brief history of offending behaviour (you do not need to include details
around the offending as you did for the index offence).
5. Psychometric testing:ii. Ms Smith Education completion: year 10 or more
Employment: Held a job for less than 2 years
Accommodation: Has stable, unsafe accommodationb. Provide a summary of the JAR tool describing what it measures. You may use the
following to give you an idea of how to write this section:
The Violence Risk Scale (VRS) is a comprehensive actuarial instrument that covers
the majority of the best-established predictors of violence. Actuarial instruments
involve a mechanical combination of risk factors that place an individual offender
into a risk category that can be compared to that of the average violent offender. Research indicates that the intensity of risk management efforts should be
matched to this relative level of risk. The VRS includes both static (historical) and
dynamic (changeable) risk factors. As such, it acknowledges the fluctuating nature
of risk and the dynamic factors can also serve as intervention and management
targets. The VRS has been validated in correctional samples and total scores on
the instrument have been found to have a moderate-to-high relationship with
subsequent violenceProvide the offenders JAR score, and a brief explanation of the offenders score.
d. Discuss what the offenders score means in the theoretical context of RNR, using
references to support your discussion of RNR. For example, if the offenders score
was moderate, you might comment on the fact that a moderate score indicates a
moderate level of risk of re-offending (Risk) and that such offenders need a
moderate level of intervention (Need). For JAR and the Responsivity principle, you
would need to consider information from the case (eg, cognitive limitations) and
how they might impact on the offenders capacity to engage in treatment. (Note:
you will need to expand a little on this and include references; for example, you
could define what each of the principles mean and obviously, you would only
need to do that once). Move on to the Assessment of Treatment Readiness (ART) tool (scroll down the
proforma to find it). Add the scores for each category, and noting whether they
fall into the low or medium-high category:
