Correctional Counselor (CC1) Practice Exam

Which circumstance will NOT allow for automatic application of a VIO AD?

1. Finding of guilt on a division A1 RVR

2. VIO AD affixed prior to Feb 20, 2017

3. A conviction on a similar violent offense

4. A finding from a parole hearing

The correct answer is: VIO AD affixed prior to Feb 20, 2017

The automatic application of a Violent Incident Offense Administrative Disciplinary (VIO AD) can be complex, and understanding the context of these circumstances is crucial. The reason that a VIO AD affixed prior to February 20, 2017, does not allow for automatic application is that this date appears to signify a change in policies or regulations concerning how VIO ADs are applied. Any incidents or designations made before this date may not be considered under the current guidelines that regulate the automatic application process. In contrast, findings of guilt related to division A1 RVRs or convictions for similar violent offenses, as well as findings from parole hearings, typically demonstrate ongoing or recent behaviors that are aligned with the criteria for the automatic application of a VIO AD. These would reflect current and relevant circumstances regarding an individual's actions that warrant disciplinary measures. Thus, the significance of the date highlights a boundary in policy changes that influences when and how VIO ADs can be applied.
