As board members assess the risk of an offender, they first look at the charges that the offender was convicted of. They look at any prior criminal history that he may have, as well as any relevant societal issues, such as being a victim himself in his own childhood, victimization of a victim, and those types of issues. They will also look at the institutional behaviour, the programming that the institution provides, and whether it is successful and whether the offender is engaged in the programming in the institution.
