Training Modules

Training Modules are short, focused modules that explain how commonly used tools and concepts actually work in practice.

They are built for practitioners, students, and instructors working in corrections and criminal justice—people who need to interpret results, not just generate them.

Risk Assessment

Developed by Dr. Zachary Hamilton

A series on what risk scores represent, how tools are built and evaluated, and how to interpret their outputs in real decision contexts.

The series opens with a basic but often overlooked point: not all risk scores mean the same thing.

  • what risk scores actually represent
  • how tools are validated
  • what performance metrics do and do not tell you
  • how these tools are used in practice

New modules will be added over time.
