For Offender Risk...the answer

is in the pattern, not the score
Syscons QUEST Risk
Management application
takes advantage of the common
sense notion that an offenders
risk depends on the type of
risk factors they present, not
just a score. Using advanced
modeling techniques based on
known outcomes of offenders
with similar patterns,
QUEST examines an
inmates risk factor
pattern to create a
simulation of the risk
posed to the community
and thus overcomes the
limitations of traditional
summed-scored risk
assessment approaches.

Overview

Because QUEST constructs a

model of how an inmates risk
factor pattern interacts and
links it directly to empirical outcomes, you can play out WhatIf? scenarios, testing which
criminogenic need is likely to
be linked to future recidivism
reduction and how to reduce
that risk. This isnt possible
with older score-based assessment tools only the QUEST
model allows you to do this.
