Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The IACFP recommends screening for mental illness and suicide risk as these are important factors in determining an inmate's risk to themselves and others in the general population. Screening for substance abuse and prior institutionalizations may also be important, but these factors are more typically addressed in treatment and community reentry efforts rather than placement decisions. Psychopathy and weapons are also important concerns but may not be as easily detected through screening measures.
