CRIMINAL MATTERS
South Australian legislation has recently changed the sentencing guidelines under the "(Home Detention) Act 2016" . This will enable young offenders to be given a "home detention" sentence as an alternative to imprisonment.
The main consideration for the Court is to ensure there is "community safety" when such an option is provided.
Research in the field of recidivism and risk assessment has demonstrated that individuals are very poor at judging the likelihood of reoffending. Statistically, professional judgment is poor - and no better than chance at predicting recidivism.
White & Associates Psychologists provide a comprehensive risk assessment based on a contemporary approach that utilizes a clinically adjusted actuarial risk methodology. This approach incorporates standardized measures to examine the individual's static and dynamic risk factors and their protective strengths.
When specific dynamic risk factors identify areas of concern (e.g. violence, substance abuse, sex offending, gambling, mental health ) further detailed measurement is incorporated to fine tune the level of risk.
Finally, treatment programs are recommended for such individual to further reduce community risk. The literature indicates that recidivism is significantly less likely while the individual is engaged in rehabilitation.
A standard fee equivalent to that of the Legal Services Commission 'Legal Aid' rate for a psychological report is charged for this assessment.
