Criminogenic Needs Report

Evaluate your agency's top need areas for assessments completed between 1/1/2000 and 9/17/2019

Criminogenic Needs Report

This report shows the frequency that different need areas are selected as the top need for all of the subjects in the system, and can be used as a starting point for evaluating the necessary treatment options available to your agency. This report includes the most recent completed assessment for each subject, only indicates need areas, and does not consider Noble's stabilizing factors. This is a point in time report, and reflects the current top needs in your agency. As new assessments are performed on subjects, this data will change.

Frequency of Offenses Report

Report for felony, misdemeanor and other charges; and for male and female offenders between 1/1/2000 and 9/17/2019

Offense Frequency Report

This report shows the top five offenses by frequency for felony, misdemeanor and

ther charges; and for

male and female

ffenders within your
agency. Charges are
rdered by the

frequency they are assigned within the charges module. This report shows all

ffenses with the

selected criteria, with and offense date between 1/1/2000 and 9/17/2019.

Mental Health Report

Report for subjects with current mental health issues

Mental Health Report

This report indicates subjects in the system where the most recent PACT/RPACT assessment has the 'Current mental health problems' response selected. This report is for all PACT/RPACT assessments completed between 1/1/2000, and 9/17/2019. The charts to the right show the percentage of the population that has completed a PACT/RPACT with current mental health problems, and counts of the population grouped by the risk levels of those completed assessments.

Recidivism Overview Report

Recidivism Report

Noble broadly defines recidivism as a subsequent referral after the initiation of services on an existing

referral. This basic

definition serves as the basis for the recidivism report. Further refinement is available, however, by allowing the definition to be narrowed by the inclusion

f only particular types of

re-offenses. This report counts recidivism as felony, misdemeanor and other re-

ffenses that occurr any

time subsequent to the first charge found within the interval range. Note: This report considers all initial charges, with a qualifying disposition that is not pending.

Risk Level Report

Report for assessessments completed between 1/1/2000 and 9/17/2019

Risk Level Report

This report shows a breakdown of risk levels based on the most recent completed assessment for each subject. Risk level is a key factor in the overall risk to re-offend, and helps make supervision level decisions moving forward with the subjects. The charts to the right are a visual representation of risk level for completed assessments between 1/1/2000 and 9/17/2019, for the selected users.

The first chart shows the average ACE Score per Risk level for completed PACT assessments within the chosen date range. The second chart shows a count of PACT assessments, and the associated ACE score. For more detailed information including the date the assessment was completed, subject information, completed by, ACE score, and PACT score; Expand the "More Information" section on page 2.
