This video explains what the Indiana Risk Assessment System (IRAS) is and its purpose. IRAS is “designed to provide Indiana's courts with information about an offender's potential risks and needs, allowing trial courts to provide appropriate sentences, supervision and treatment services. These risk assessment tools enhance efforts to rehabilitate offenders, reduce recidivism, and increase public safety. For more information, see http://courts.in.gov/jtac/2675.htm.” [read the full story here]
