Speakers
Plenary Session
I will review the current performance of risk assessment tools in criminal justice, consider methodological advances in the field of risk assessment, and their applicability to criminal justice. New scalable approaches to risk assessment will be outlined, including new tools that model recidivism risk in people in prison (OxRec), people sentenced to sexual offences (OxRIS) and community offences (OxMORE), and individuals arrested for domestic violence (OxDOV). The role of these novel scalable tools will be discussed in the context of efforts towards decarceration, and whether they have a role in more collaborative approaches that bring together criminal justice and health services. Furthermore, the potential contribution of other disciplines, particularly ethics and economics, will be outlined.
