An Examination of the Hamilton County Inventory of Need Pretrial Screening Tool Summary: In recent years, there have been ever increasing numbers of individuals entering into the criminal justice system. Because of this, criminal justice professionals and researchers have become progressively more concerned about the phenomenon of individuals continually cycling through the system. Pretrial service agencies are afforded a unique opportunity to address this issue at the “gateway” of the criminal justice system. It is possible that identifying and addressing pretrial needs could interrupt this cycle and contribute to pretrial success. Furthermore, attention to gender-responsive needs at this stage of the criminal justice process may prove beneficial for female pretrial defendants. While evidence-based practices in the pretrial field have begun to emerge, there has been little inquiry into pretrial needs and their subsequent influence on pretrial outcomes. This dissertation contributes to both the pretrial and gender-responsive literature by investigating the existence of gender differences of pretrial needs and whether these needs are predictive of pretrial outcomes. Examination of domains included in the Hamilton County Inventory of Need Pretrial Screening Tool afforded an opportunity to identify and examine the needs of 266 pretrial defendants from Hamilton County, Ohio. Results indicate there are gender differences in the substance, prevalence, co-occurrence of the needs of pretrial defendants; many of the examined needs are risk factors for pretrial failure; and gender-responsive pretrial risk factors are important in predicting pretrial outcomes. In all, this study demonstrates the importance of examining pretrial needs and their potential contribution to pretrial failure. Details: Cincinnati, OH: University of Cincinnati, 2011. 303p.
