Abstract
The Level of Service Inventory‐Revised (LSI‐R) and similar correctional‐based risk and need assessment instruments, purport to be gender‐neutral. The LSI‐R was created based on research conducted on male offender samples. While there is empirical support for the gender‐neutral effectiveness of the LSI‐R and similar instruments, there is also a growing body of contemporary research that challenges this contention. Current research further outlines the potential negative implications for using so‐called gender‐neutral instruments to manage and supervise female offenders. This submission outlines salient work in this area, as well implications for the future use of risk and need instruments in community corrections.
