Implementation of Quantitative Decision Aids in the Oklahoma Probation and Parole System, 1989-1990
Description
These data were collected to examine the use of
quantitative decision aids in making probation and parole decisions in
Oklahoma. The quantitative aids implemented in Oklahoma were
modifications of the Wisconsin risks/needs assessment instruments. To
determine the uses of and attitudes towards such instruments, Oklahoma
probation and parole officers were queried regarding the
appropriateness of the instruments in making probation and parole
decisions, the specific circumstances in which the instruments were
useful, the reasons why the instruments were used, and the extent to
which the instruments were manipulated. In addition, data were
collected from the officers on job satisfaction and age, length of
employment, sex, education, and race.
