FROM THE PREFACE: Prediction has always been an important topic in criminology. • Prediction instruments have been used extensively to aid criminal justice decisionmakers, most notably in selecting prisoners for parole. Current uses of prediction methods include the identification of offenders for a policy of "selective incapacitation" and the identifiction of dangerous offenders. Prediction methods are also used to evaluate different kinds of penal treatments and to assess the likely effects of penal policy changes on the criminal justice system. As a by-product of this substantive research, a good deal of attention has been paid to the statistical and methodological issues involved in constructing sound prediction instruments.

This book, officially sponsored by the Home Office, is a report of the first criminological prediction study carried out in England. The collaboration of iwo authors eminent respectively in the distinct disciplines of criminology and statistics gives unusual authority to their findings, and has led to methodological advances of considerable interest. They have aimed to establish a method of prediction which meets their postulated criteria of repeatability, validity and power, efficiency and simplicity. A validation study, which confirmed their initial results.

FROM THE FORWARD: How should this change? Answers to these questions are offered here in describing and assessing the career of Richard A. McGee (1897-1983), who was one of themost successful promoters of ways to control crime, yet always dissatisfied with what he achieved. McGee's work in corrections began in 1931 as director of education in a federal prison. From 1935 to 1941 he supervised New York City penal facilities, then headed the Department of Public Institutions for the state of Washington, and from 1944 until his retirement in 1967, he directed California's state correctional programs. Throughout his years in justice agencies, and in retirement, McGee published extensively, and had numerous national and international offices and honors. This book draws much from his lucid writings.

From the Foreword by Salem Shah: “

The prediction of dangerous and violent behavior is a topic that continues to be the subiect of much controversy and discussion in the criminal justice and mental health systems. Decision-makers in both systems are frequently called upon or even required to consider the likelihood that particular individuals will or will not engage in future acts of violence against other persons or against themselves. And, not infrequently, the judg- ments that are made can have serious consequences for the individuals concerned-and also for segments of the community that might be placed at risk.”
