This study explores the structural properties of the ERG22+ formulation tool (Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service, 2011).

The formulation tool is made up of 22 factors organised into three domains; Engagement, Intent and Capability. Multidimensional scaling analysis was carried out to identify any potential underlying structures which may inform the development of the tool. The internal consistency reliability of the ERG22+ was examined using Cronbach’s alpha.
