Paroling, Recommitting, and Supervising Federal Prisoners: Revision of the Salient Factor Score
Traducción automática local · Idioma original de la fuente
Resumen
The U.S. Parole Commission is revising the salient factor score at 28 CFR 2.20. The salient factor score is an actuarial device which the Commission uses to measure the risk that a prisoner will violate parole. The revised Salient Factor Score will improve the accuracy of the Commission's recidivism predictions in the case of older prisoners. Under the revised score (to be known as SFS-95), the Commission will add one point to the prisoner's total score if the prisoner was 41 years of age or more at the commencement of the current offense (or parole violation), provided the prisoner does not already have the highest possible total score (10). The revision is made appropriate by the fact that the Parole Commission has jurisdiction over an aging population of prisoners and parolees whose crimes were committed prior to November 1, 1987.
