Validating your actuarial pretrial assessment tool is a critical step in understanding how the tool performs in your jurisdiction and building confidence in its use. This training is designed to make the validation process more understandable by describing key concepts in clear, practical, and easy-to-follow terms. Participants will learn what validation entails, why it matters, and how to interpret the most important findings commonly included in validation reports. The faculty will also discuss how jurisdictions can prepare for a validation and use the results to improve their practices. Experienced practitioners, along with an expert researcher who has conducted validations across jurisdictions, will share practical lessons and insights about data.
