Differences between the different classification of offenders

Discuss the differences between the different classification of offenders: low risk, medium risk, high risk.

What are their  rates of recidivism?

How does classification inform treatment and/or supervision?

What might happen if a low risk offender receives high intensity services? What is likely to happen if a high risk offender is placed in a treatment group with low-risk offenders? Will the low risk offenders have a positive effect on the high risk offender?
