An Arizona Order for a Pre-sentence Investigation and Report (PSI) is a document issued by the Court that requires the Defendant to submit to an in-depth examination of his or her past criminal record, current situation, and any other relevant information prior to sentencing. The PSI is prepared by a probation officer and is used to inform the judge's sentencing decision. The PSI typically includes a comprehensive review of the defendant's criminal history, family background, education, and work history. It also includes an assessment of the defendant's risk of recidivism, as well as any mitigating circumstances. The two types of Arizona Order for a Pre-sentence Investigation and Report are: 1. Pre-Sentence Investigation Report (PSI): This type of report is typically used when a defendant is convicted of a felony and is facing a prison sentence. The report will include a comprehensive review of the defendant's criminal history, family background, education, and work history. It also includes an assessment of the defendant's risk of recidivism, as well as any mitigating circumstances. 2. Pre-sentence Investigation and Report (AIR): This type of report is typically used when a defendant is convicted of a misdemeanor and is facing a less severe sentence, such as probation or community supervision. The report will include a review of the defendant's criminal history, family background, education, and work history. It also includes an assessment of the defendant's risk of recidivism, as well as any mitigating circumstances.
