 | Violent Offenders by Catherine A. Cormier, Grant T. Harris, Marnie E. Rice, Vernon L. Quinsey
How do we decide who should be released from prison, when, and under what circumstances? Arriving at a sound and reliable judgment on the basis of the offender`s past actions is notoriously difficult and, unfortunately, the scientific literature argues that neither treatment nor supervision has demonstrable effects on recidivism. The authors argue that community risk management can be improved by combining what is already known in three areas of inquiry: the prediction of violence, the study of clinical decision making and clinical judgment, and the literature on treatment outcome and program evaluation. On the basis of the literature and of their own research findings on mentally disordered offenders, sex offenders, firesetters, and psychopaths, the authors argue that an actuarial method of prediction is considerably superior to its alternatives.
