Although the Juvenile Sex Offender Assessment Protocol-II (J-SOAP-II) and the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY) include an emphasis on dynamic, or modifiable factors, there has been little research on dynamic changes on these tools. To help address this gap, we compared admission and discharge scores of 163 adolescents who attended a residential, cognitive-behavioral treatment program for sexual offending. Based on reliable change indices, one half of youth showed a reliable decrease on the J-SOAP-II Dynamic Risk Total Score and one third of youth showed a reliable decrease on the SAVRY Dynamic Risk Total Score. Contrary to expectations, decreases in risk factors and increases in protective factors did not predict reduced sexual, violent nonsexual, or any reoffending. In addition, no associations were found between scores on the Psychopathy Checklist:Youth Version and levels of change. Overall, the J-SOAP-II and the SAVRY hold promise in measuring change, but further research is needed.
尽管青少年性犯罪者评估协议第二版(J-SOAP-II)和青少年暴力风险结构化评估(SAVRY)强调动态或可改变因素,但对这些工具的动态变化研究甚少。为填补这一空白,我们比较了163名参加性犯罪住院认知行为治疗项目的青少年入院和出院时的得分。根据可靠变化指数,一半的青少年在J-SOAP-II动态风险总分上有可靠下降,三分之一的青少年在SAVRY动态风险总分上有可靠下降。与预期相反,风险因素的减少和保护因素的增加并不能预测性犯罪、非性暴力犯罪或任何再犯罪的减少。此外,《青少年版心理变态检查表》的得分与变化水平之间未发现关联。总体而言,J-SOAP-II和SAVRY在测量变化方面有前景,但仍需进一步研究。
