However, the AWA classification system consistently failed to distinguish offenders at medium risk to recidivate from those at low risk to recidivate. In comparison, the AWA system was very effective in distinguishing those at a high risk to reoffend from medium and low risk offenders. In general, the former system that utilized a psychological risk assessment tool consistently distinguished offenders who were at a high, medium, and low risk to reoffend. We also examined the effectiveness of each classification system in identifying offenders at the highest risk to reoffend. In comparison, the post-LB 285 classification system resulted in a 2-year recidivism rate of 2.6% and a 1-year recidivism rate of 1.7%. Specifically, the pre-LB 285 classification system resulted in a 2-year recidivism rate of 1.7% and a 1-year recidivism rate of 0.6%. In comparing the old risk-based system of classification to the new offense-based system of classification, the former risk-based system resulted in less overall recidivism.
