One measure, called the Spousal Assault Risk Assessment, found his risk of violence was high, both toward a partner, and against other people in the context of a relationship.
Administrators are trained to make binary decisions on each item in a checklist, following a records review and interviews. The score is cumulative. The higher the score, the higher the risk. It is typically administered for inmates being classified or considered for release, and then re-administered twice a year. It is designed to take less than an hour.
For example, a 2006 academic paper in the Journal of Criminal Justice reports: “Although an impressive body of research exists that supports the LSI-R as one of the most promising tools currently available to facilitate consistent and accurate correctional decisions, empirical investigations have yet to study the impact that implementation integrity and agency commitment might have on the tool’s efficacy.
Those actuarial tools were not the only evidence presented at the hearing that led to Sanderson’s release, however. There was also his own letter, and letters of support. Importantly, a psychologist assessed Sanderson and found him to present a “moderate” risk for violent reoffending, both as regards domestic partners and the general public.
