Monthly Status:
In April, CSG Justice Center staff along with an expert consultant, and other key working group participants, discussed initial thoughts following the first working group meeting and planned how to best structure future working group meetings.
On April 14, the CSG Justice Center project team followed up with next steps from the first meeting, a copy of the project presentation, and shared a survey with the Risk Assessment Guidelines Working Group. The survey focused on gathering information on how working group participants define various terms and concepts related to risk and needs assessment, specifically fairness, accuracy, transparency, interrater agreement, fidelity, validation, and revalidation.
The CSG Justice Center project team, along with expert consultant Dr. Sarah Desmarais, collected the survey results and have begun to summarize them.
