“…The regression analysis showed where one factor is protective it is likely to be having resilient personality traits. This is supported by Duits et al (2008), who found that resilient personality traits were a signifi cant predictor of low/medium risk of re-offending. In the SAVRY, markers of resilient temperament include above average intellectual ability and cognitive skills (reasoning, planning, delay of gratifi cation), ability to develop solutions to problems, adaptability, calm mood, and realistic self-esteem (Kumpfer, 1999).…”

“…The SAVRY includes six protective factors, which have been shown to reduce the likelihood of violent behaviour (Hoge et al, 1996;Lipsey and Derzon, 1998;Hawkins et al, 1998;Herrenkohl et al, 2000). To date, little has been published on the SAVRY-protective factors, but there is emerging evidence that the SAVRY-protective factors can predict desistance from re-offending, adds incremental value to risk assessments and are important in clinical judgements (Dolan and Rennie, 2008;Duits et al, 2008;Lodewijks et al, 2008a,b). Lodewijks et al (2009) examined the possible impact of SAVRY-protective factors on desistance from violent re-offending in adolescents.…”

“…Overall, we found that average scores on each of the individual SAVRY risk or protective items were lower in this sample compared to Western samples [20–24]. Nevertheless, over an average follow-up period of five years, ROC analyses suggested that the SAVRY Risk Domains were predictive of violent reoffending in male juvenile offenders in China (AUCs: Total Score: 0.68; Historical Domain: 0.66; Social/Contextual Domain: 0.61; Individual/Clinical Domain: 0.66; Protective Domain: 0.60).…”

Predicting Reoffending Using the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY): A 5-Year Follow-Up Study of Male Juvenile Offenders in Hunan Province, China

et al. 2017

BackgroundJuvenile violent offending is a serious worldwide public health issue.ObjectiveThe study examined whether the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY) can be used to predict violent reoffending in Chinese male juvenile offenders, and to determine which risk/protective domains (items) are associated with violent recidivism.MethodsA total of 246 male juvenile offenders were recruited. SAVRY domains were scored by trained raters based on file review and interviews with participants and their legal guardians. Information on further arrests, charges, or convictions for violent offences were collected from police records over a five year follow-up.ResultsOver the course of the five year follow-up periods, 63 (25.6%) juvenile offenders were re-arrested for a further violent reoffence. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analyses showed Areas Under the Curve (AUCs) ranging from 0.60 to 0.68 for the SAVRY total, risk and protective score domains. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that 7 of the 30 SAVRY items were significantly associated with reoffending; explaining 36.2% of the variance. Backward stepwise multiple logistic regression analysis showed the independently predictive items were items 2 (‘history of non-violent offending’), 17 (‘negative attitudes’), 18 (‘risk-taking/impulsivity’), and 20 (‘anger management problems’). Together these four items explained 25.0% of the variance in reoffending.ConclusionsThe results suggested that the SAVRY can be meaningfully used to inform the development and evaluation of effective violence risk assessment and management approaches for male juvenile offenders detained in a Youth Detention Center in Hunan province, China.

“…In all these studies the SAVRY shows adequate psychometric properties (Dolan and Rennie, 2008; Duits et al, 2008; Gammelgard et al, 2008; Klein et al, 2012; Hilterman et al, 2014; Chu et al, 2016). …”

“…The SAVRY has been adapted to different countries, including the USA (Chapman et al, 2006), Finland (Gammelgard et al, 2008), Netherlands (Duits et al, 2008), UK (Dolan and Rennie, 2008), Germany (Klein et al, 2012), Australia (Shepherd et al, 2014a), Singapore (Chu et al, 2016), China (Zhou et al, 2017) and Spain (Hilterman et al, 2014, 2016). In all these studies the SAVRY shows adequate psychometric properties (Dolan and Rennie, 2008; Duits et al, 2008; Gammelgard et al, 2008; Klein et al, 2012; Hilterman et al, 2014; Chu et al, 2016).…”

The Predictive Validity of the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth for Young Spanish Offenders

The present study examined the predictive validity of the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY) in a group of young Spanish offenders. The sample is made up of 594 minors from the Juvenile Court, between the ages of 14 and 18 at the time they committed the delinquent act. The SAVRY was able to differentiate between low and high-risk younger offenders. Mean scores on risk factor are greater in the group of recidivist offenders, the group of non-recidivist shows higher mean scores in Protective domain. The accuracy of the instrument is high (AUCRiskTotalScore = 0.737 and AUCSummaryRiskRating = 0.748). An approximation of the predictive validity study of the SAVRY in Spanish younger offenders is presented. The results obtained support the SAVRY good functioning with not English samples.
