L ’évaluation du risque et des besoins criminogènes à la lumière des données probantes : une étude de validation de la version française de l’inventaire de niveau de service et de gestion des cas – LS/CMI

Conclusions La version française du LS/CMI permet donc de prédire la récidive chez une grande variété de personnes et de structurer l’intervention correctionnelle de manière cohérente. Introduction Instruments of the LS family are among the world's most widely used risk assessment instruments. Objective This study is testing the psychometric properties of the French version of the Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (LS/CMI; Andrews, Bonta, & Wormith, 2004). Method Reliability and predictive validity of the scales, as well as the total scale are tested on a sample of 3682 offenders (301 women and 3381 men) serving a sentence of less than two years. Results Results indicate psychometric properties consistent with the English version. Internal consistency, exploratory factor analysis, and predictive validity are good. Conclusion The current French version of the LS/CMI is a reliable and valid instrument to assess risk for recidivism, and is a solid foundation to support correctional treatment implementation.
