Review of Assessment Instruments-Compiled for the ATI WorkgroupBy Nikki Vines, L.M.S.W., Doctoral student, Jane Addams College of Social WorkDescriptionThe Service Planning Instrument for Women (SPIn-W) The Service Planning Instrument for Women (SPIn-W) contains 100-itemsthat assess risk, need and protective factors that have demonstrated relevancefor increasing responsivity in case work with justice involved women. While, the content of SPIn-W overlaps with traditional risk/need assessment ingeneral populations of men and women, SPIn-W items related to child custodyand parenting issues, domestic violence, mental health, social support, andcommunity living. Items in assessment domains related to attitudes, aggression,interpersonal skills, and cognitive skills have been tailored to take into accounthow these areas of risk are manifested in female offender populations.Strengths Was developed from research and field practice with criminal justice involvedwomen. Provides scoring that is helpful for classifying offenders according tooverall risk level so that adequate supervision resources can be assigned.Same Strengths as SPIn: Provides capabilities to link assessment results in an immediate way to theprocess of individualized case planning and appropriate service provision. SPInhelps with case planning by identifying need areas that can be easily linked tointerventions and other services for adult offenders. Incorporates the measurement of protective factors or strengths. Theassessment of protective factors focuses case plans to capitalize on strengthsand helps develop resources for offender success. Customization of the program is offeredCautions Compatible with Youth Assessment Screening Instrument (YASI)Same Cautions as SPIn: Is a web-based program, private domain (costly) Is a new assessment (2009)7-5/26/2010

A high percentage ofoffenders are classified as high risk, which is counter to the goal of riskclassification: to differentiate the population by risk and allocate resourcesaccordingly. The current risk score provides little differentiation of thepopulation, especially with the parole population, where 93% of offenders areclassified as high risk.
