What does successful completion of a FROST indicate?

Successful completion of a FROST, or a formal risk and needs assessment, indicates that changes in criminogenic risk and needs have been addressed. This assessment is designed to evaluate factors that contribute to an individual's likelihood of reoffending and identify areas that require intervention or support. When a probationer successfully completes the FROST, it signifies that any identified criminogenic risks have been appropriately managed or mitigated, showing progress in their rehabilitation and reintegration into the community.

This completion does not imply that the probationer has zero risk of reoffending, as there are always underlying factors that could contribute to recidivism. Additionally, while it may suggest that there aren't significant current concerns regarding behavior, it does not guarantee that all conditions of the probationer are being met or that they are fully compliant in every aspect of their probation requirements. Thus, the core takeaway is that the FROST reflects critical insights into the probationer's progress regarding their criminogenic needs and risks.
