Risk assessment for general assault and partner abusers : Évaluation du risque que présentent les agresseurs en général et les partenaires violents

16 Sep 2004

The present report describes two studies that evaluated the predictive validity of the SRA-GA and the SRA-PA. [...] The first goal was to evaluate the ability of the SRA scales to predict the specific type of violent re- offending it was designed to predict and to suggest potential improvements. [...] The violent recidivism rates for the three risk levels of the SRA-GA were significantly different from each other but not for the PRA. [...] The second approach is to integrate the best items from of the SRA-GA into the PRA. [...] The left side of Table 2 presents the correlations of the historical items with violent recidivism and also the recidivism rates for each score on the item.
