Subject: HPRM: Official Information request - Updated information
regarding ROC*ROI algorithm and Seriousness of Offence Scores

 

Dear Department of Corrections,

 

I would like to make an Official Information Act request for details
regarding the ROC*ROI algorithm and confirmation of the latest seriousness
of offences scores.

This is a request for updated information that was provided by the
Department of Corrections in 2012-2013 in response to Joshua Grainger's
OIA request. ([3]https://fyi.org.nz/request/rocrol_formul...)

 

Here are my specific questions/requests:

Q1) Is the ROC*ROI algorithm still the same as that mentioned in the
following 2012 document from the Department of Corrections:
[4]https://fyi.org.nz/request/501/response/...

If not, please could you provide an updated version of this algorithm.

 

Q2) Given that the scores of the seriousness of offences have been updated
since 2013, have the numeric weightings in the ROC*ROI algorithm (i.e.,
all the numeric values in the PDF document linked to in Q1) been updated
in any way too?

If the numeric weightings in the ROC*ROI formula have been revised, please
could you provide the revised version of the ROC*ROI algorithm with the
current weightings.

 

Q3) An updated table of the scores of the seriousness of offences was
released in May 2017
([5]https://www.parliament.nz/en/pb/order-pa...).
Given that these scores are inputs into the ROC*ROI algorithm, please
advise whether these scores are still accurate.

If the scores are no longer accurate, please could you provide an updated
table of scores.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Daniel Wilson
