Summary
"The Custody Rating Scale (CRS) is an instrument employed by the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) to assist in determining an offender's initial security classification. The CRS is comprised of two subscales, Institutional Adjustment and Security Risk, with scores in turn informing a CRS designation of minimum, medium, or maximum security. As per Commissioner's Directive 705-7, the CRS is used in conjunction with structured professional assessment of an offender's institutional adjustment, escape risk, and public safety risk to determine an appropriate Offender Security Level (OSL). As part of a series of revalidation studies, the present analysis examines the validity of the CRS for men offenders admitted to federal custody on a Warrant of Committal (WOC; N = 23,007) or following a revocation of conditional release (N = 6,240) between 2013/2014 and 2018/2019. Results indicate that a higher CRS designation was associated with a greater likelihood of involvement in an institutional incident and receipt of an institutional charge. However, the strength of the relationship was greater for the WOC group relative to the revocation group. A similar pattern was found in regards to OSL and institutional outcomes"--Executive summary, page iii.
