The Future of Criminal Attitudes Research and Practice (2002, background): “Even more disheartening is the fact that very few correctional psychologists, those who represent the profession that is supposed to lead the charge on applying contemporary assessment technology, employ contemporary broad-based assessment technology in their practice (Boothby & Clements, 2000).”
Use of Dynamic Risk/Need Assessment Instruments Among Long-Term Incarcerated Offenders (2004, background): “However, the adoption of these assessment devices into widespread use among correctional agencies has progressed surprisingly slowly (Boothby & Clements, 2000).”
Evaluating the Predictive Validity of the Compas Risk and Needs Assessment System (2009, unknown): “It dominated corrections for several decades and remains preferred by many correctional decision makers (Boothby & Clements, 2000; Wormith, 2001).”
Where has all the psychology gone?: A critical review of evidence-based psychological practice in correctional settings (2014, background): “Although the number of US employed correctional psychologists increased with the advent of RNR, due to dramatic rises in prison numbers the US psychologist to offender ratio has remained poor (i.e., about 1:750; Boothby & Clements, 2000).”
Assessing Released Inmates for Substance-Abuse-Related Service Needs (2006, unknown): “Third, existing assessment tools have not been widely adopted; in a survey of correctional psychologists, Boothby and Clements (2000) found that the vast majority of clinicians in correctional facilities ignore risk assessment tools in assessing and treating inmates.”
Offender Risk Assessment (2002, background): “The Boothby and Clements (2000) survey asked psychologists what tests they used.”
The Prediction of Violence in Adult Offenders (2009, methodology): “This is of concern because the MMPI has been one of the most commonly used assessment instruments by psychologists working in correctional settings in the United States (Boothby & Clements, 2000).”
