What is an RAI score?

An RAI score, or Risk Assessment Instrument score, is a numerical value used to evaluate the likelihood of recidivism or the risk of re-offending among individuals, particularly in the criminal justice system. It incorporates various factors, such as criminal history, Demographics, and behavioral indicators, to help inform decisions about sentencing, parole, and rehabilitation. RAI scores aim to provide a standardized method for assessing risk and guiding interventions to improve outcomes for individuals and public safety.
