Risk-needs assessments (RNAs) are an evidence-based practice used by practitioners to assign supervision and programming. While foundational to day-to-day practices, these tools are typically applied ‘off-the shelf,’ and are mistakenly assumed to demonstrate equivalent prediction accuracy regardless of location or population. Although researchers and providers are aware these tools experience performance shrinkage, the issue is commonly ignored. …
Advancing the Study of Adverse Childhood Experiences
The study of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and their association with negative outcomes has heavily influenced several disciplines, including the field of victimology. However, substantial limitations surrounding the conceptualization and measurement of ACEs have restricted our understanding of these experiences and how they may influence other forms of victimization across racial and ethnic groups. The purpose of the current study was to …
Best Practices for Neglected Assumptions
In the assessment world, risk determines “who” to treat and needs determine “what” (Bonta & Andrews, 2016). Yet, for youth, greater emphasis is placed on needs that target recidivism reduction interventions.

Rooted in the focal concerns perspective and congruence to stereotypes framework, thi…
