Category 5: General Criminality Offenders on community supervision sometimes violate conditions of release but are continued on parole and not returned to custody. For example an offender may test positive for the use of cocaine and the supervision agent only adds additional substance abuse treatment as a condition of release. Similarly, an offender may miss an appointment but call two days later and reschedule, and the supervising officer may decide not to report the breach. The standard of violation necessary to be coded for this item can be considered similar to a charge. If there is a violation hearing though the offender is not returned to custody, this situation counts as a violation of community supervision. If the supervising officer makes a note in a report that the offender did not satisfy all conditions (e.g., was late or missed an appointment), this is not counted as a violation unless the offender was charged with breaching, returned to custody, or there was some sort of hearing. There must be an official record of the violation (e.g., the offender self-reporting that he returned home late from curfew one night does not count). If an offender fails to comply with probation and the offender’s probation is violated or revoked this would be scored as “1”. It is also scored as “1” if the offender is convicted for a new offence that was committed while on any of the community supervision orders listed above, even if the conviction does not include a community supervision violation. If the offender is charged for a new offence while on community supervision and there is no conviction for the offence, the evaluator must make a reasonable determination of whether the offence occurred (if so, the offender is scored for violating community supervision). 88
Category 5: General Criminality 13. Years Free Prior to Index Sex Offence Background: This item was intended as a measure of criminal persistence. The cut-point for the conviction date was developed empirically. The cut-point for the date of the offence was extrapolated from knowledge of sexual offence cases processed in the Canadian criminal justice system. Information Required to Score this Item: To score this item you must have access to an official criminal record as compiled by police, court, or correctional authorities. Self-report of criminal convictions may not be used to score this item except in specific rare situations (see subsection “Official Criminal Record,” page 5). The Basic Rule: If the offender has less than 36 months “free” (in the community) prior to committing the index sexual offence, OR less than 48 months free prior to the conviction date for the index sex offence, the offender receives a score of “1.” If the offender had more than 48 months free prior to index conviction AND more than 36 months free prior to committing the index sexual offence, the score received is “0.” This is summarized below. SCORE of 0 More than 36 months free prior to committing the sexual offence that resulted in the index sex offence, AND More than 48 months free prior to index sex offence conviction SCORE of 1 Less than 36 months free prior to committing the sexual offence that resulted in the index sex offence, OR Less than 48 months free prior to conviction date for index sex offence The two dates necessary for scoring this item are: 1. The date the offender was released from some form of involvement with the criminal justice system prior to committing the index offence 2. Either the date the index sex offence occurred, or the date of conviction for the index sex offence. (Knowing both dates is preferable, but either one on its own is sufficient.) For the index offence conviction, the earliest date of conviction for the offences in a sentencing occasion cluster counts as the date of the sentencing occasion. For offences subject to alternative measures, the date of the imposition of the alternative measure counts as the date of the sentencing occasion. The 48 months until the conviction date for the sexual offence is based on “real” (i.e., calendar) time, not street time. Consider the following example: An offender commits the index sex offence 37 months after his release from a prior offence. 89
