About this organisation
Reclassering Nederland publishes algorithms as applied in the primary process on behalf of the three collaborating probation organisations (3RO), which also include Stichting Verslavingsreclassering GGZ (SVG) and Leger des Heils Jeugdzorg & Reclassering. 3RO considers it important to be transparent about the algorithms used. We use algorithms as tools to assist probation workers with their judgement, with the decision making always resting with the professional.
