“…Results indicated that recidivists were more likely to drop out of treatment and display deterioration in their behaviour, whereas the non-recidivists' behaviour generally improved throughout the course of the supervision. Similar results were reported by Hudson, Wales, Bakker, and Ward (2002) whereby sexual reoffenders had more deviant post-treatment scores, and demonstrated less prosocial improvement than non-reoffenders. Similarly, among a sample of general offenders, significant change was noted amid various dynamic risk factors including: employment, leisure time, stress, negative affect, coping, and criminal attitudes (Brown et al, 2009;Jones et al, 2010).…”

The foundation for effective case management is rooted in the use of a validated risk assessment.The present study sought to validate the Dynamic Risk Assessment for Offender Re-entry (DRAOR) among a sample of probationers and parolees (n = 391) in the state of Iowa. Scores across the DRAOR domains were able to differentiate between recidivists and non-recidivists when examining technical violations and any recidivism, although were unable to differentiate between those offenders who were re-arrested and those who remained crime free. An examination of the psychometric properties of the scale suggested that the DRAOR is a valid risk assessment tool. Additionally, Stable dynamic risk factors represented the strongest predictor of technical violations, although were unable to predict rearrest. The predictive utility of the various domains (i.e. Stable, Acute, and Protective) suggested that case managers would benefit from utilizing the DRAOR in the everyday supervision of offenders. U.S. DRAOR VALIDATIONiii Acknowledgements I am extremely grateful to my supervisor, Dr. Ralph Serin, for providing me with this opportunity and for the constant support and feedback throughout the project. I am also thankful for the advice and feedback from my committee member, Dr. Shelley Brown who's comments undoubtedly improved the quality of this project. I also appreciate the knowledge and perspective shared by Dr. Diana Majury. This project would not have been possible without the cooperation of the Iowa Department of Corrections. I truly appreciate the assistance that Dr. Lettie Prell provided throughout the various stages of the project.A special thank you to Caleb Lloyd who provided unwavering support throughout the duration of the project. I am also grateful for the efforts of Mark Girvan and Eric Filleter who assisted with preparing the data.

“…Rumination over anger provoking situations affects the degree of control an individual has over their anger increasing the risk of re-offending, if not addressed. Research found that rumination over anger was related to sexual recidivism in groups of mixed child molesters (Hudson, Wales, Bakker, & Ward, 2002; Thornton, 2002). Whilst rumination may be well implicated in the risk of recommissioning offences and a growing body of evidence is pointing the central role of negative emotional states in the offence process (Day, 2009), less is known about the role of worry as a mediator between PTSD and risk of re-offending—conceiving worry as a strategy to control perceived threat and to lessen anxiety (Borkovec, Alcaine, & Behar, 2004; Papageorgiou & Wells, 2003; Wells & Sembi, 2004) and as a form of cognitive avoidance which inhibits emotional regulation (Borkovec et al, 2004).…”

BackgroundStudies of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are mainly focused on victims of trauma. Very few studies explored the links between PTSD symptoms and re-offending risk in perpetrators of violence.Objective The aim of the study was to assess the effect of PTSD symptoms on re-offending risk in prisoner populations with a focus on indirect effects of worry and a negative perception of other people’s support on the relationship between PTSD and re-offending risk.Methods75 prisoners (25 females, mean age: 44.36 years; 50 males, mean age: 34.7 years) were assessed for exposure to child abuse and neglect, PTSD symptoms, worry, a negative perception of other people’s support and re-offending risk. Mediation analyses tested the indirect effects of worry and a negative perception of other people’s support on the relationship between PTSD and re-offending risk.Results72% participants presented PTSD symptoms and 30.7% were at risk of re-offending. Mediation analyses supported the hypothesis of a mediation pathway from PTSD to worry and a negative perception of other people’s support to an increased risk of re-offending.ConclusionsThe results indicate that prisoners report high rates of PTSD symptoms; furthermore, they highlight an important relationship between PTSD and re-offending risk. Findings suggest that future research should test further the indirect effects of negative cognitive and emotional states on the relationship of PTSD and re-offending risk and explore more in depth the role of PTSD to assess and treat prisoners.

“…For example, Nunes and colleagues (2011) found 214 federally incarcerated sex offenders endorsed significantly less rape cognition posttreatment ( d change = 0.75). Although this seems promising, change in rape cognition has been found to be unrelated to sexual recidivism (Beggs & Grace, 2011; Hudson, Wales, Bakker, & Ward, 2002; Nunes, Pettersen, et al, 2016; Olver et al, 2014). For example, Beggs and Grace (2011) found that change in rape cognition was unrelated to sexual recidivism for 202 incarcerated sex offenders.…”

Implicit and Explicit Evaluations of Sexual Aggression Predict Subsequent Sexually Aggressive Behavior in a Sample of Community Men

The current longitudinal study explored the extent to which implicit and explicit evaluations of sexual aggression predict subsequent sexually aggressive behavior. Participants (248 community men recruited online) completed measures of implicit and explicit evaluations and self-reported sexually aggressive behavior at two time points, approximately 4 months apart. Implicit and explicit evaluations of sexual aggression at Wave 1 had small significant and independent predictive relationships with sexually aggressive behavior at Wave 2, while controlling for sexually aggressive behavior at Wave 1. This is the first study to test whether implicit and explicit evaluations predict subsequent sexually aggressive behavior. Our findings are consistent with the possibility that both implicit and explicit evaluations may be relevant for understanding and preventing subsequent sexually aggressive behavior. If these findings can be replicated, evaluations of sexual aggression should be studied with more rigorous methodology (e.g., experimental design) and correctional/forensic populations, and possibly addressed in risk assessment and interventions.
