Adoption, validation, and utilization of an assessment tool.
    (a) Purpose. In order to determine appropriate punishment or services which will protect public safety, it is necessary for the State and local jurisdictions to adopt a common assessment tool. Supervision and correctional programs are most effective at reducing future crime when they accurately assess offender risks, assets, and needs, and use these assessment results to assign supervision levels and target programs to criminogenic needs.
