Risk assessment technologies: case management in parole

Parole officers can use RAT scores in deciding whether to require a person to attend a substance abuse support group or behavioral therapy or whether they will be subject to strict supervision and surveillance. There is little research documenting the ways parole officers use the information from RATs when making those decisions or investigating the extent to which parole officers receive training or are subject to internal policies and guidance when using RATs.
