I'll start with the answer and then turn it over to Dr. Blanchette.
There are two things. For the initial security classification, to classify a woman as maximum, medium, or minimum, we use the custody rating scale, which, if I am not mistaken, was validated for women offenders. Based on the Auditor General's report, we're willing to look at it again to see if we need to change it. There is a security reclassification scale specifically for women that was developed in 2005. It was based on a sample of women offenders.
In terms of the right programs, that's something different. Up to now we were using the custody rating scale, which is really a security classification tool, to assign women to a certain intensity of program, because there are moderate and high-intensity programs. For both men and women, the Auditor General has said that the custody rating scale is not the appropriate tool. It's a security classification tool, and we need a program tool.
That is why we've developed what we call the criminal risk index, which has been validated for both men and women, to ensure that we assign the right intensity program to both men and women.
