Filters
The Level of Service/Risk, Need, Responsivity (LS/RNR) is designed for public safety organizations who want to use the most current research when conducting their level of service risk assessment but already have a case management process that suits their needs. The LS/RNR assesses the rehabilitation needs of justice-involved individuals, their risk of recidivism, and the most relevant factors related to supervision and programming.

The LS/RNR consists of six sections. In order to administer and score, you will require a LS/RNR Interview Guide, a LS/RNR Quikscore Form, and the standard LS/CMI ColorPlot Profile forms.
The LS/RNR normative sample consisted of 157,947 North American youth and adult justice-involved individuals: 60,156 American adult and youth justice-involved individuals from 10 jurisdictions, and 97,791 Canadian community and institutionalized adult and youth justice-involved individuals.
To administer the LS/RNR training is required for those who do not have the requisite b-level educational qualifications. Training is also recommended for those who need in-depth knowledge of the LS/RNR and its use and interpretation.
