摘要
A new multi-method, computerized screening system for classifying and assigning all felons entering Kentucky's correctional institutions was developed and implemented. This system—consisting of psychological tests, self-report inventories, rating scales, and detailed observations—requires approximately two hours for administration. A detailed, case-history summary covering nine major classification categories and supplying information about the felon's background, interests, abilities, strengths, and weaknesses in 27 criminological, demographical, sociological, and psychological areas of correctional concern is provided. This new system appears both reliable and valid and should prove useful both for initial classification and assignment, and for reclassification and parole review. © 1979, Sage Publications.
