RIDOC is no longer using the LSI-R risk

violence conviction. The department is
planning to migrate to the Domestic Violence
Screening Instrument - Revised (DVSI-R) tool
for this population, which assesses the
dangerousness of an individual.

is being actively supervised on the specialized domestic
violence caseload.
An additional 2 percent of people with a DV offense
