    "notes": "The federal judiciary describes the Post Conviction Risk Assessment (PCRA) as a \"scientifically based instrument developed by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts\" to support post-conviction supervision. It says the instrument helps probation officers focus on people at greatest risk of failing supervision or committing new crimes, and decide which people to target for interventions, which needs to address and how to deliver supervision and treatment. The page does not give a launch date; its earliest research items are a Federal Probation article on the construction and validation of the PCRA (September 2011) and a construction and validation study (November 2012). It does not explain the scoring method.",
