Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

While risk assessment has been most used as an evaluation of which offenders are most likely to re-offend, there are also various models explaining the process of client change which is thought to further describe who is at risk.While elements of change have been validated, there is no one assessment which assesses a client's position in the process of changing from an antisocial offender into a prosocial individual.The current research therefore attempted to validate the Client Change Scale (CCS), which is a theoretically and empirically supported measure for quantifying client change.Parole decision with offenders in the California parole system was used as a proxy measure of recidivism.Results indicated that while the CCS was reliable and correlated with risk, it didn't provide a good model and didn't predict decision independently.Further research is needed to assess the CCS' ability to predict recidivism directly for differing populations.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
