Answer to Question 1

The answer should include the following points:
 evidence exists that a large proportion of offenders now incarcerated could be placed on probation without any change in the recidivism rates
 probationers have a significantly lower violation rate than do parolees
 intensive probation supervision

Answer to Question 2

The answer should include the following points:
 The risk scale was derived from empirical studies that showed certain factors to be good predictors of recidivism, such as prior arrest record, age at first conviction.
 The needs assessment focuses on such indicators as emotional stability, financial management, family relationships, and health.
 The most widely used risk/needs assessment of human behavior is the Problem Severity Index, a screening tool that gives intake officers and others clues about the types of problems the offenders might have.
