Mr. Andrews is a 36-year-old man who has been a life-long career
criminal. He has suffered ridicule and has expressed episodes of depression.
Currently, he is located at a maximum security prison and has requested that he
be reevaluated to go to a medium-security prison for the remainder of his
sentence. At the current location, Mr. Andrews has received numerous prison
violation tickets for disorderly conduct, assault on an inmate, and not
following the instructions of a corrections officer during work
detail. 

During his intake, it was noted that Mr. Andrews's behavior toward authority
was aggressive, and his responses to questions were vague. As you look at this
reevaluation, it will be very important to use the correct assessment. Both
OASys and LSI-R have components that address his socialization, but there has
been no treatment plan initiated that addressed his issues.

Individual Portion

• Using the information from the above scenario, each individual group member
  should address the following in 500–700 words:
  
  
  • Indicate which assessment or diagnostic technique (OASys or LSI-R) you would
    use.
    
    
    • Why do you feel that this diagnostic technique is the most appropriate in
      the case of Mr. Andrews?
  
  
  • Do you feel that the diagnostic technique that you did not
    select would be inadequate considering the circumstances above? Why?

• What is the risk level (low, medium, or high) of Mr. Andrews?
  
  
  • Do you feel that a medium-security facility is the ideal option for the
    incarceration of Mr. Andrews? Why or why not?
    
    
    • Use examples from the scenario to support your argument.
