LS/CMI On Demand Training
This On Demand training was developed to teach users how to administer the most widely used risk/needs assessment, the Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (LS/CMI™). Following the Risk-Need-Responsivity Model of offender rehabilitation, the LS/CMI™ is a fully functioning case management tool and assessment that measures the risk and need factors empirically associated with recidivism as well as offender strengths, supervision considerations, and factors of late adolescent and adult offenders. This single application provides all the essential tools needed to aid professionals in treatment planning for and management of offenders in justice, forensic, correctional, prevention, and related agencies. The LS/CMI™ has been found to produce accurate and reliable assessments of recidivism risk across sexes, ethnicities, and countries. Presented by co-author of the LS/CMI™, Dr. J. Stephen Wormith, this online workshop will provide item-by-item instructions on how to reliably score the measure and interpret its findings, a review of the peer-reviewed research on the LS/CMI™ will be provided, and guidance will be put forth on how to apply LS/CMI™ reporting conventions. Case studies will be employed to allow you to practice using the tool’s coding manual and to learn to avoid common administration errors.
At the end of this training you will be able to…
- Describe the Risk-Need-Responsivity Model of offender rehabilitation
- Apply interviewing best practices for the LS/CMI™
- Combine risk assessment and case management in one convenient evidence-based system
