In March, CSG Justice Center staff, along with expert consultant, worked to incorporate the compiled feedback provided by the advisory group into the Risk Assessment Guidelines companion document. The project team also continued working on other project deliverables, including reviewing the (1) one-page, user-friendly document jurisdictions can use to relay development and validation results in a simple visual manner; and (2) the two-pager for the general public, which explains how the guidelines can improve accuracy, fairness, and transparency in risk and needs assessment tools. The project team also gathered the key terms and is incorporating them into the companion guide draft for further review.
CSG Justice Center staff held team meetings in March to discuss next steps and project team action items and continue to further develop and review the proposed deliverables.
