The Public’s Stance on Prisoner Reentry: Policy Support and Personal Acceptance

Can the quality of high-risk violent prisoners' release plans predict recidivism following intensive rehabilitation? A comparison with risk assessment instruments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the predictive validity of plan quality with three risk assessment instruments and found that high-risk violent prisoners had significantly higher scores on all three risk instruments and significantly poorer plans, but plan quality did not significantly improve prediction when risk was controlled.
