Psychopathy
Tập 23 Số 1 - Trang 25-54 - 1996
Although the evolution of psychopathy as a formal clinical disorder began more
than a century ago, it is only recently that scientifically sound psychometric
procedures for its assessment have become available. The result has been a sharp
increase in theoretically meaningful and replicable research findings, both in
applied settings and in the laboratory. The construct of psychopathy is proving
to...
Violent Recidivism of Mentally Disordered Offenders
Tập 20 Số 4 - Trang 315-335 - 1993
Multivariate techniques were used to derive and validate an actuarial instrument
for the prediction of violent postrelease offenses by mentally disordered
offenders. The 618 subjects were a heterogeneous group of men who had been
charged with serious offenses. Approximately half had been treated in a maximum
security psychiatric institution and the rest had been briefly assessed prior to
imprisonm...
Evaluating the Predictive Accuracy of Six Risk Assessment Instruments for Adult Sex Offenders
Tập 28 Số 4 - Trang 490-521 - 2001
Five actuarial instruments and one guided clinical instrument designed to assess
risk for recidivism were compared on 215 sex offenders released from prison for
an average of 4.5 years. The Violence Risk Appraisal Guide, Sex Offender Risk
Appraisal Guide, Rapid Risk Assessment of Sexual Offense Recidivism, and
Static-99 predicted general recidivism, serious (violent and sexual) recidivism,
and sex...
Violent Video Games and Aggression
Tập 35 Số 3 - Trang 311-332 - 2008
Two studies examined the relationship between exposure to violent video games
and aggression or violence in the laboratory and in real life. Study 1
participants were either randomized or allowed to choose to play a violent or
nonviolent game. Although males were more aggressive than females, neither
randomized exposure to violent-video-game conditions nor previous real-life
exposure to violent vi...
Treatment Response of Adolescent Offenders With Psychopathy Features
Tập 33 Số 5 - Trang 571-596 - 2006
This study examines the treatment response of 141 juvenile offenders with high
scores on the Psychopathy Checklist:Youth Version ( M total > 27). Two groups of
potentially psychopathic offenders are compared: one that participates in the
Mendota Juvenile Treatment Center (MJTC), an intensive treatment program (MJTC,
n = 56), and another that receives “treatment as usual” in conventional juvenile
c...
The Effect of Gang Affiliation on Violent Misconduct Among Inmates During the Early Years of Confinement
Tập 33 Số 4 - Trang 419-466 - 2006
The pattern of inmate involvement in violent misconduct is established in the
early years of imprisonment, yet few studies have looked at the predictors of
violent misconduct during the first months or years of imprisonment, and none
have studied the effects of gang affiliation during this time period. This study
of 2, 158 male inmates who were confined for at least 3 years in a southwestern
state...
Coping, Imprisonment, and Rehabilitation
Tập 17 Số 1 - Trang 53-70 - 1990
The results of a recent longitudinal study of coping in prison are reviewed with
respect to their implications for rehabilitation. The failure of the conditions
of ordinary imprisonment to change behavior generally, and the demonstration of
substantial coping deficits among prisoners in particular, are both
justification for increased adoption of treatment programs aimed at behavioral
change. More...
Comparative Validity Analysis of Multiple Measures of Violence Risk in a Sample of Criminal Offenders
Tập 32 Số 5 - Trang 479-510 - 2005
This study compared the predictive validity of multiple indices of violence risk
among 188 general population criminal offenders: Historical-Clinical-Risk
Management-20 (HCR-20) Violence Risk Assessment Scheme, Violence Risk Appraisal
Guide (VRAG), Violent Offender Risk Assessment Scale (VORAS), Hare Psychopathy
Checklist-Revised (PCL-R), and Screening Version (PCL:SV). Several indices were
relate...
The Effects of Media Violence Exposure On Criminal Aggression
Tập 35 Số 6 - Trang 772-791 - 2008
The article presents a meta-analysis of studies—yielding 26 independent samples
of subjects—on the relationship between exposure to media violence and violent
aggression. Mean effect sizes from aggregate and experimental studies do not
suggest that media violence and criminal aggression are positively associated,
but findings from prospective longitudinal studies are more ambiguous. Summary
statis...
Dimensions Associated with Assessments of Sex Offender Recidivism Risk
Tập 29 Số 5 - Trang 569-589 - 2002
This research explored empirical dimensions of sex offender recidivism risk.
Study 1 portrayed descriptive statistics and factor structure information
concerning actuarial risk instruments and diagnoses derived from a sample of sex
offenders being evaluated for civil commitment in Wisconsin. Study 2 used a
sample from England and Wales to analyze the relationships between individual
risk factors c...
