Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024

(a) The California Static Risk Assessment (CSRA) (new 12/09), which is incorporated by reference, is a validated risk assessment tool that utilizes a set of risk factors which are most predictive of recidivism. The tool produces a risk number value that will predict the likelihood that an offender will incur a felony arrest within a three-year period after release to parole.

Risk factors utilized include, but are not limited to, age, gender, criminal misdemeanor and felony convictions, and sentence/supervision violations.

(b) CSRA risk number values fall in one of following five categories:

(1) Low Risk, with a risk number value of "1".

(2) Moderate Risk, with a risk number value of "2".

(3) High Risk Drug, with a risk number value of "3". High Risk Drug means that the offender has a greater risk of reoffending with a drug offense.

(4) High Risk Property, with a risk number value of "4". High Risk Property means that the offender has a greater risk of reoffending with a property offense.

(5) High Risk Violence, with a risk number value of "5". High Risk Violence means that the offender has a greater risk of reoffending with a violent offense.

(c) For the purposes of this section, the CSRA is defined as an actuarial tool that computes the likelihood to re-offend (incur a felony arrest within a three-year period after release to parole), and uses static indicators that do not change. These indicators include gender, age and offense history of the offender.
