Section 3768 - Parole Violation Decision-Making Instrument

(a) The purpose of the Parole Violation Decision-Making Instrument (PVDMI) is to enable parole staff to uniformly determine, recommend, and impose proportionate and consistent sanctions for parole violators. These sanctions will be based on the risk level of the offender and the severity of the violation. The risk level of the offender is determined by the California Static Risk Assessment, as described in section 3768.1. The severity of the violation is based on the department's analysis of all technical and criminal violations. Severity rankings were developed in conjunction with, the California Department of Justice, the Board of Parole Hearings, and the department.

(b) The PVDMI shall be used to assess all violations of parole except as noted in section 3768.2.

(c) For the purposes of this section, "severity rankings" are determined by rating all known parole violation codes, as provided in the Violation Code Descriptions (new ¹²/₀₉ ), which is incorporated by reference, in a numerical value from 1 to 4.
