Abstract
This article reviews the literature of the past 20 years on offender classification. Early developments represented a convergence of professional, legal, and political demands. Recent progress in several areas is noted: risk assessment and correctional supervision, classification based on psychological characteristics, and needs assessment. An integration of trends argues for a systems approach to classification, connecting it more specifically to intervention. Current efforts that warrant further attention are discussed.
