Example -assignment: vrag score: -17 (placing him in the 2nd of 9 risk bins); 7 years=8%; 10 years=10, mr. smith"s score places him in the 2nd of 9 risk bins. Assuming that mr. smith closely resembles the construction sample, similar scoring individuals reoffended at a rate of. 8% within 7 years, and 10% within 10 years.
