Perpetrators of intimate partner violence and mandatory reporting laws
Treatment for perpetrators of intimate partner violence (IPV) is a crucial preventive measure for IPV. However, professionals working with IPV perpetrators might be mandated by law to intervene when they suspect future IPV, creating a potential conflict for perpetrators seeking help for their problems. There is limited research on IPV perpetrators’ perspectives on mandatory reporting of intimate partner violence (MR-IPV). We aimed to add to this …
Developmental factors in forensic assessments of children over the minimum age of criminal responsibility
Despite the international recognition of children's evolving capacities and the importance of incorporating these factors into forensic assessments, there is limited research on forensic practices specific to children above the minimum age of criminal responsibility (MACR). The current study is part of a larger project examining legal and forensic assessments related to children's criminal unaccountability (criminal insanity) in Norway. The aim o…
Mandatory Reporting of Intimate Partner Violence
Purpose Mandatory reporting intimate partner violence (MR-IPV) laws require professionals to report or prevent intimate partner violence (IPV). This directly affects individuals subjected to IPV who reach out for help, but there is limited research on whether IPV victims are aware of MR-IPV or are informed about it. The aim of the current study was to examine knowledge about MR-IPV among IPV victims. Methods Data consisted of questionnaire respon…
Compliance with mandatory reporting of intimate partner violence among professionals in Norway
Knowledge of the characteristics that are associated with professionals' compliance with MR-IPV is essential to better understand the application of MR-IPV, to implement practice that is consistent with law, and ultimately to prevent IPV. Further research is needed to explore the context of compliance with MR-IPV
What Difference does it Make if they have Children? A Mixed Methods Study of the Impact of Children on Service Providers’ Perception of Mandatory Reporting of Intimate Partner Violence
Purpose Whether professionals consider children to be an important factor regarding mandatory reporting of intimate partner violence (MR-IPV) remains unknown. In the present study, we examined to what extent the presence of children had an impact on service providers’ decision making when faced with IPV, and the parents’ reported consequences of MR-IPV for the children. Methods The present study is a mixed methods study combining quantitative ( N…
Evaluating the HCR‐20 V3 violence risk assessment measure with mentally disordered offenders and civil psychiatric patients in China
The current prospective risk assessment study evaluated the application of the Chinese translation of the Historical‐Clinical‐Risk Management‐20 Version 3 (HCR‐20 V3 ) in a sample of 152 offenders with mental disorders and civil psychiatric patients. The ratings of the presence and relevance of risk factors were compared, as well as summary risk ratings (SRRs), both across offenders and civil psychiatric patients, and across male and female sub‐s…
An Economic Analysis of Crime Costs Associated with Psychopathic Personality Disorder and Violence Risk
Given substantial national crime costs and that psychopathic personality disorder (PPD) is a robust predictor of recidivism, a research gap exists concerning the cost of crime attributable to adults with PPD. The current study employed a bottom-up cost of illness approach to estimate the association between PPD and crime costs among Canadian men incarcerated in the federal correctional system ( n = 188). Participants were rated using the Psychopa…
Predictive validity of the Savry, YLS/CMI, and PCL
OBJECTIVE: Despite advances in developing structured risk assessment instruments, there is currently no instrument to assess and manage the risk of intimate partner violence perpetration among adolescents. Given the empirical link between many forms of antisocial behavior, we tested whether structured tools commonly used by professionals to evaluate adolescents' risk of engaging in general violence and offending could be used to identify adolesce…
Humanistic Optimal Functioning Predicts Low Youth Violence
This study assessed whether indicators of humanistic optimal functioning were predictive of lower levels of violence among youth across a 6-month period. Youth ( N = 346) aged 12 to 14 years completed measures of authenticity and of positive regard for others (generalized trust, forgiveness, and gratitude). Approximately 6 months later, the youth reported violence, criminal offenses, and indicators of potential violence, and for some ( n = 266), …

Comparing the lexical similarity of the triarchic model of psychopathy to contemporary models of psychopathy
OBJECTIVE: The triarchic model of psychopathy (Patrick, Fowles, & Krueger, 2009) posits that psychopathic personality comprises three domains: boldness, meanness, and disinhibition. The present study aimed to clarify conceptual overlap between contemporary definitions of psychopathy, with particular emphasis given to the relevance of boldness (i.e., social dominance, venturesomeness, emotional resiliency)-a topic of recent debate. METHOD: Undergr…

Community Violence Perpetration and Victimization Among Adults With Mental Illnesses
Objectives. In a large heterogeneous sample of adults with mental illnesses, we examined the 6-month prevalence and nature of community violence perpetration and victimization, as well as associations between these outcomes. Methods. Baseline data were pooled from 5 studies of adults with mental illnesses from across the United States (n = 4480); the studies took place from 1992 to 2007. The MacArthur Community Violence Screening Instrument was a…
Using the Psychopathic Personality Inventory to identify subtypes of antisocial personality disorder
Clinical Forensic Psychology
Clinical forensic psychology involves assessment and treatment of persons involved in the legal process, or consultation on related matters. Although psychologists who conduct research in forensic contexts are faced with challenges that present themselves in any research context, they are also faced with some unique ones as well. Therefore, in addition to being well versed in general research design and methodological principles from clinical and…
Forensic Psychological Assessments
This chapter provides an introduction to the field of clinical forensic psychology. It focuses on four general topics. First, we provide a definition of forensic psychology and a discussion of how it fits within clinical psychology, arguing that psychologists who work in the field of forensic psychology must have specialized training and experience in the field. Second, we discuss the legal parameters within which forensic assessments are conduct…
Using Social Science to Reduce Violent Offending
This book articulates how social science can be applied to inform improvements in correctional policy and practice across the criminal justice system. The chapters reflect an iterative collaboration between leading social scientists and criminal justice practitioners, and they offer practical summaries of empirically grounded guidelines for change. The chapters first provide a foundational overview of crime and incarceration in the U.S. and addre…
Violence Against Teachers
Data collected from 731 teachers were used to examine the consequences of violence directed toward teachers while in the workplace. Analyses showed that the majority of respondents ( n = 585, 80.0%) had experienced school-related violence—broadly defined—at one point in their careers. Serious violence (actual, attempted, or threatened physical violence) was less common, but still common enough to be of concern ( n = 202, 27.6%). Violence predicte…

Psychosis as a risk factor for violence to others
The potential association between psychosis and violence to others has long been debated. Past research findings are mixed and appear to depend on numerous potential moderators. As such, the authors conducted a quantitative review (meta-analysis) of research on the association between psychosis and violence. A total of 885 effect sizes (odds ratios) were calculated or estimated from 204 studies on the basis of 166 independent data sets. The centr…
Violence risk assessment
Substantial strides have been made in the field of violence risk assessment. Numerous robust risk factors have been identified and incorporated into structured violence risk assessment instruments. The concepts of violence prevention, management, and treatment have been infused into contemporary thinking on risk assessment. This conceptual development underscores the necessity of identifying, measuring, and monitoring changeable (dynamic) risk fa…
