In this episode of Justice Speaks, Executive Director Cheryl Roberts examines the controversial reality of New York’s Risk Assessment Instrument (RAI). Joined by experts Dr. Katsavdakis, Alan Rosenthal, and Judge Conviser, the conversation explores how a system based on unvalidated research from 1996 can create a misleading perception of public safety. Together, the guests analyze the legal and psychological implications of these arbitrary scores—including their impact on housing and lifetime registration—while discussing the critical need for a system aligned with modern scientific data and clinical expertise.
