The present study examined the convergent, structural, and predictive properties of Violence Risk Scale-Sexual Offense version (VRS-SO) scores in a sample of 200 men on community supervision for sexual offenses, attending forensic community outpatient services and followed up an average 8.6 years. The VRS-SO and two additional dynamic sexual recidivism risk measures-STABLE 2007 and Sex Offender Treatment Intervention and Progress Scale (SOTIPS)-were coded archivally from clinic files; Static-99R ratings were extracted. Recidivism data were captured from Royal Canadian Mounted Police records. VRS-SO static, dynamic, and total scores demonstrated expected patterns of convergence with total and subscale scores of the risk measures. Moreover, a confirmatory factor analysis of the VRS-SO dynamic item scores demonstrated acceptable model fit for a correlated three-factor solution consistent with prior confirmatory factor analyses. Discrimination analyses demonstrated that VRS-SO dynamic and total scores and STABLE 2007 scores had large prediction effects for 5-year sexual recidivism (area under the curves [AUCs] = .71-.72) while SOTIPS had a medium effect for this outcome (AUC = .67); the measures yielded medium to large effects for nonsexual recidivism. Cox regression survival analyses demonstrated that VRS-SO dynamic, Sexual Deviance factor, and SOTIPS scores each incrementally predicted sexual recidivism controlling for Static-99R or VRS-SO static factor scores. VRS-SO calibration analyses demonstrated that expected or predicted 5-year sexual recidivism rates showed generally close correspondence to the rates predicted or observed in the present community sample. Results support the psychometric properties of the VRS-SO, a sexual violence risk assessment and treatment planning measure, to a community outpatient sample.

社区性犯罪门诊环境中暴力风险量表-性犯罪版本的有效性和可靠性。


本研究以 200 名男性样本为样本，检验了暴力风险量表 - 性犯罪版本 (VRS-SO) 分数的收敛性、结构性和预测性，这些男性接受性犯罪社区监督，参加法医社区门诊服务，并进行了平均 8.6 的随访。年。 VRS-SO 和另外​​两项动态性累犯风险衡量标准（STABLE 2007 和性犯罪者治疗干预和进展量表 (SOTIPS)）是根据临床档案进行存档编码的；提取了 Static-99R 评级。累犯数据取自加拿大皇家骑警记录。 VRS-SO 静态、动态和总分展示了与风险度量的总分和子量表分数的预期收敛模式。此外，VRS-SO 动态项目评分的验证性因素分析证明了与先前的验证性因素分析一致的相关三因素解决方案的可接受的模型拟合。歧视分析表明，VRS-SO 动态和总分以及 STABLE 2007 分数对 5 年性再犯具有较大的预测效果（曲线下面积 [AUC] = .71-.72），而 SOTIPS 对此结果具有中等影响（曲线下面积 = .67);这些措施对非性累犯产生了中等到大的影响。 Cox 回归生存分析表明，在控制 Static-99R 或 VRS-SO 静态因素得分的情况下，VRS-SO 动态、性偏差因素和 SOTIPS 评分各自增量预测性累犯。 VRS-SO 校准分析表明，预期或预测的 5 年性累犯率通常与当前社区样本中预测或观察到的比率密切对应。 结果支持了 VRS-SO（一种性暴力风险评估和治疗计划措施）对社区门诊样本的心理测量特性。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
