TL;DR: Andrews et al. as discussed by the authors reviewed the progress of risk assessment in criminal justice and assess progress since Andrews, Bonta, and Hoge's (1990; Andrews, Zinger, et al., 1990) statement of the human service principles of risk-needresponsivity and professional discretion.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors respond to GLM's criticisms of RNR and conclude that little substance is added by GLM that is not already included in RNR, although proponents of GLM may learn from the popular appeal that GLM, with its positive, strength-based focus, has garnered from clinicians over the past decade.

TL;DR: Offender treatment attrition can be managed and clients can be retained through an awareness of, and attention to, key predictors of attrition and adherence to responsivity considerations.

TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analysis of the predictive accuracy of three well-known forensic instruments used to appraise risk with young offenders is presented, i.e., youth adaptations of the Level of Service Inventory and Psychopathy Checklist and the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk for Youth.

TL;DR: The mean incremental contributions of gender and the gender–by–risk level interactions in the prediction of criminal recidivism were minimal and the relatively strong validity of the LS/CMI risk level was strong, suggesting possible implications for test interpretation and policy.
