Camasso, Michael J.; Jagannathan, Radha
Social Work Research, v19 n3 p174-83 Sep 1995
Compares the predictive performances of the Illinois CANTS 17B and the Washington State Risk Matrix on a sample of New Jersey child protective services cases using logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Both instruments predict case recidivism, closings, and substantiation with probabilities greater than chance. (JBJ)
