Correctional Counselor (CC1) Practice Exam

For which group must there be a violent incident within the last 3 years to be classified under A1?

1. Gang affiliation

2. Assaultive behavior or weapon(s)

3. Participating in riot

4. Battery against a staff member

The correct answer is: Assaultive behavior or weapon(s)

The correct choice is based on the classification criteria used for categorizing certain behaviors or incidents within correctional facilities. The requirement for a violent incident in the last three years specifically targets those who have exhibited assaultive behavior or have been involved with weapons. This classification aims to identify individuals who demonstrate a pattern or propensity for violence, which is crucial in maintaining safety and security within the correctional environment. In the context of violent incidents, the emphasis on behavior involving weapons or assault reflects the serious nature of these actions and their potential impact on the individual’s classification and management within the system. Understanding this classification helps correctional counselors appropriately assess risk and develop intervention strategies tailored to individual needs, ultimately contributing to a safer correctional environment. The other choices relate to specific behaviors or affiliations but do not have the same explicit requirement for a violent incident within a specified timeframe for the A1 classification.
