Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (LS/CMI) for risk and need
The LS/CMI is an interview that surrounds an offender’s risk factors, criminogenic necessities, and how responsive they are. Within this interview are 11 different sections. The first section assesses the defendant’s risk of reoffending by looking at areas such as criminal history, education/employment, leisure time, and more. Based on the LS/CMI results, it was concluded that the study’s defendant of focus was at a high risk of reoffending. The areas with high-risk levels were education/employment, family/marital, and companions. When looking back at his history, his education was negatively impacted when he ended up not finishing school due to being incarcerated and never having the ability to obtain a job. In terms of family and marital, his father had a criminal record, and his mother had chronic psychosis. He was also a witness to domestic violence that was occurring in the house with his mother and her partners. Lastly, the defendant has interactions with those who were involved in criminal behaviors while being incarcerated and says he has no friends. These subcomponents summarize his mental illness and the symptoms he has based on the effects of the experiences.
