The purpose of the current study was to examine whether the MOLEST and RAPE scales and change on these measures predicted sexual recidivism in a sample of 146 adult male sexual offenders who participated in a high-intensity treatment program while incarcerated. The majority of subjects had functional scores on the MOLEST and RAPE scales prior to treatment. Of those who had dysfunctional pre-treatment scores, the majority made significant gains. However, the MOLEST and RAPE scales did not significantly predict sexual recidivism. This was the case for pre-treatment scores, post-treatment scores, and change scores. Our findings are generally not consistent with the view that these measures assess dynamic risk factors for sexual recidivism. However, this is the first published study to examine the predictive validity of these scales and more rigorous research is needed before firm conclusions can be drawn.
本研究的目的是检验MOLEST量表和RAPE量表以及这些测量指标的变化是否能预测146名成年男性性犯罪者样本中的性再犯情况，这些性犯罪者在监禁期间参加了高强度治疗项目。大多数受试者在治疗前的MOLEST量表和RAPE量表上得分正常。在治疗前得分不正常的受试者中，大多数取得了显著进步。然而，MOLEST量表和RAPE量表并不能显著预测性再犯情况。治疗前得分、治疗后得分和变化得分均是如此。我们的研究结果总体上与这些测量指标评估性再犯动态风险因素的观点不一致。然而，这是第一项检验这些量表预测效度的已发表研究，在得出确凿结论之前还需要更严格的研究。
