In 2019, the Romanian Probation Service (RPS) nationally implemented a ‘Scale for the Evaluation of Risk and Needs’ (or SERN) that was modeled earlier on the static and dynamic factors components of Correctional Service of Canada’s (CSC) Offender Intake Assessment process. This project continues the technical assistance being provided under the auspices of a 2022 joint statement of cooperation between the Probation Directorate of Romania and CSC. The present study explores the reliability of the SERN or the extent to which its items are consistent with an overall 5-level risk and needs rating.
