  • Incremental Contributions of Static and Dynamic Sexual Violence Risk Assessment: Integrating Static-99R and VRS-SO Common Language Risk Levels

    Open AccessMark E Olver, Sharon M Kelley et al.ARTICLECriminal Justice and Behavior2021

    We examined the incremental contributions of static and dynamic sexual violence risk assessment in a multisite sample of 1,289 men treated for sexual offending. The study extends validation work that established new risk categories and recidivism estimates for the Violence Risk Scale–Sexual Offense version (VRS-SO), using the risk assessment common language (CL) framework. Different rates of sexual recidivism were observed at different thresholds…

  • The promises and perils of developing a national sex offender recidivism database in Australia

    Caroline Spiranovic, Anna Ferrante et al.ARTICLECurrent Issues in Criminal Justice2020

    Much of what we know about sexual offenders and risk management is derived from empirical studies on sex offender populations in North America. In comparison to Canada and the United States, the evidence base in Australia on sexual offender risk management is under-developed. In this paper, we describe a current research project tasked with developing a national sex offender recidivism database to advance the evidence base in Australia. It is arg…

  • Violence, mental health and violence risk factors among community women: An epidemiological study based on two national household surveys in the UK

    Open AccessMin Yang, Stephen C P Wong et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    A higher prevalence of common mental disorders and some types of personality disorder was found among violence prone women compared to their non-violence prone counterparts. The identified violence risk factors could be used to develop a quick and easily administered rating tool suitable for use by non-mental health trained frontline workers such as police and social support workers in the community to identify violence-prone women. Mental health…

  • The efficacy of violence prediction: A meta-analytic comparison of nine risk assessment tools

    Min Yang, Stephen C P Wong et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2010Cited by: 12

    Actuarial risk assessment tools are used extensively to predict future violence, but previous studies comparing their predictive accuracies have produced inconsistent findings as a result of various methodological issues. We conducted meta-analyses of the effect sizes of 9 commonly used risk assessment tools and their subscales to compare their predictive efficacies for violence. The effect sizes were extracted from 28 original reports published …

  • The validity and reliability of the Violence Risk Scale: A treatment-friendly violence risk assessment tool

    Stephen C P Wong, Audrey GordonARTICLEPsychology Public Policy and Law2006Cited by: 4

    The development of risk assessment tools that use dynamic variables to predict recidivism and to inform and facilitate violence reduction interventions is the next major challenge in the field of risk assessment and management. This study is the first in a 2-step process to validate the Violence Risk Scale (VRS), a risk assessment tool that integrates violence assessment, prediction, and treatment. Ratings of the 6 static and 20 dynamic VRS varia…
