The United States has not followed a coherent set of guidelines on the development and use of risk and needs assessment, and most states and counties have not tested their instruments for accuracy and fairness across race, ethnicity, and gender. In partnership with BJA, the CSG Justice Center worked with a group of 26 national experts, including researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, to develop a set of 13 practical guidelines and a suite of practical resources that advise criminal justice agencies on the use of post-conviction risk and needs assessments.

The United States has not followed a coherent set of guidelines on the development and use of risk and needs assessment, and most states and counties have not tested their tools for accuracy and fairness across race, ethnicity, and gender.
