Racial and ethnic disparities in risk assessment
About
Forensic services are increasingly recognising the need to assess the extent to which their use of risk assessments are contributing to, or reducing disparities along racial and ethnic lines. This online seminar will cover the basics of assessing risk assessment performance, approaches to measuring disparities in risk assessment instruments and the state of the art in terms of adjusting risk assessment performance to reduce disparities and/or create more equitable performance. Along the way we will explicate notions of disparity, fairness, and equity and discuss what, if any, issues exist in attempting to reconcile these concepts with risk assessment. The seminar is entirely self-contained and will not require any prior understanding of statistics or risk assessment.This online seminar will be facilitated by Dr Benjamin Spivak, Senior Lecturer, CFBS.
