Implementing OASys: Lessons from Research into LSI-R and ACE

Gwen Robinson

University of SheffieldG.J.Robinson{at}sheffield.ac.uk

This article draws on original research and other studies to explore a range of issues that probation areas are likely to face during implementation of the OASys risk/needs instrument. It considers how such instruments are viewed by practitioners and focuses in particular on how they perceive them to impact on their professionalism. The article concludes by encouraging a wider debate about the future of indeterminacy in assessment and elsewhere in probation practice.

Key Words: assessment • discretion • OASys • probation • professionalism
