(1) Prior to participating in any compelled education or treatment, adults shall complete a brief, validated criminogenic risk screen.
(2) The screen shall evaluate behaviors and characteristics known to predict re-offending including delinquency history, social history, attitudes and behaviors about substance use, antisocial cognition, antisocial associates, family and marital relations, employment, and leisure and recreational activities.
(3) Screens shall be used to inform the probability of whether the adult is of low, moderate, or high risk to re-offend.
(4) Screens may be completed by partner agencies such as the courts, law enforcement or supervising entity and reported to treatment providers.
(5) Screens shall be included and documented in the adult's service records.
(6) When a screen identifies an adult with low criminogenic risk the provider shall:
(a) report the results of the screen to the court;
(b) refer the adult to non-criminal justice agencies for any desired treatment; or
(c) provide services in a manner that limits exposure to adults with high criminogenic risk.
(7) When a screen identifies an adult with moderate or high criminogenic risk, the provider shall refer the adult to a justice certified provider or deliver services that meet the standards outlined in this rule.
