Summary: The RCS measures the amount of risk that is in a client's situation. This risk is measured according to four dimensions; Social Network, Social Stability, Integration of Care, and Resource Engagement. The 20 items (1-9 scale) are rated by the assessor. A higher score in each of the four dimensions is indicative of greater contextual difficulties related to the risk of criminal offending.

Assessment, 20, 135-149.Summary: The TI measures areas that may be of difficulty for clients transitioning to the next level of release/supervision. The TI covers two dimensions; External/Lifestyle (5 scales) and Internal/Connectedness (3 scales). The 64 self-prediction items (agree/disagree scale) are completed by the client. A higher score on each of the 8 scales is indicative of greater difficulties at the next level of transition.

The MCAD has 7 scales measured by 57 items (agree/disagree format); Internal Resources, Behavioral Controls, Relationship Depth, Affective Engagement, Integrated into Social Structures, Valued Social Place, and Agency. A higher score on each of the 7 scales is indicative of positive areas that will reduce the likelihood of criminal or antisocial activities.
