“…The Belgian system holds patients-offenders (for a minimum of 3 months) presenting with severe dementia or mental disorder and considered a danger to society. It is thus both a security and a treatment measure of indefinite duration [ 40 , 41 ]. The participants in the Belgian sample thus come from an “at-risk” population, and the majority had already served one or more prison sentences.…”

The Historical-Clinical-Risk Management Scale 20 (HCR-20) is a structured tool to assess the risk of violence and assist in its management. French professionals are reluctant to use it because only a few studies have shown its psychometric qualities with French samples. The objective of this study is to test the psychometric qualities of the HCR-20 with samples of violent detainees in France. The HCR-20 and Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (LS/CMI) were administered to 128 violent offenders with an average age of (44.16±12.30) years. We evaluated the reliability, internal consistency and validity of the HCR-20 and conducted an exploratory factor analysis. The results show that the HCR-20 has good psychometric qualities with a sample of French prisoners. Only the Risk domain presents weak results due to the data collection locations and the participants’ age. Correlations were observed between certain factors. The exploratory factor analysis shows four factors explaining 44% of the variance. The continuation of this work will enable French professionals to use sound tools to assess the risk of recidivism.

“…77–87). In Belgium, the social defense act ( Loi de défense sociale ) introduced a placement of people deemed “insane offenders” in specific wards, with the aim of “treatment” and “protecting society” ( Cartuyvels et al., 2010 ). Similar facilities emerged in Switzerland, Austria, Norway, the Netherlands and even in Italy with “psychiatric judiciary hospitals” ( Ospedale Psichiatrico Giudiziario) ( Salize et al., 2007 ).…”
