Abstract

Making correct predictions is only one, and probably not the most important, of the objectives for security classification. In this article, inherent limitations to predictive ability are discussed and four other objectives are emphasized. These objectives are as follows: making classification decisions the right way, making decisions stick, managing decisions, and promoting positive human interaction. The discussion focuses on the utility of objective instruments for achieving those objectives. (Abstract Adapted from Source: Crime and Delinquency, 1986. Copyright © 1986 by SAGE Publications)
