The Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) principles of effective correctional service that are well supported in the general offending literature have less often been applied to the assessment and treatment of intimate partner violence (IPV). Well validated IPV risk assessment tools are now widely available, and IPV treatment programs that match treatment intensity to assessed risk have shown promising pre-to-post treatment effects. The present study builds on the study of RNR principles in IPV by exploring criminogenic needs and their relation to recidivism and to recently proposed treatment intensity categories derived from an IPV risk assessment tool. We reanalyzed data from 1,421 men with a police report of IPV in the original Ontario Domestic Assault Risk Assessment (ODARA) dataset, to explore the prevalence of antisocial personality traits, procriminal attitudes, substance use, poor relationships, and work/school problems and their relation to IPV recidivism and ODARA-based treatment intensity categories. Needs were present in 17% (procriminal attitudes) to 42% (substance use) of men. All needs except poor relationships were positively related to IPV recidivism; in logistic regression analyses, antisocial personality traits (OR = 1.80) and poor relationships (OR = 0.61) incrementally predicted IPV recidivism over the ODARA (OR = 1.40). Men placed in higher treatment intensity categories based on the risk assessment score had more criminogenic treatment needs. Findings support using the ODARA to select individuals for the most intensive IPV treatment, and suggest that assessing and treating criminogenic needs may improve IPV treatment outcomes.

有效的矫正服务的风险-需求-反应性 (RNR) 原则在一般犯罪文献中得到了很好的支持，但在亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 的评估和治疗中应用较少。现在有广泛可用的经过充分验证的 IPV 风险评估工具，并且根据评估风险匹配治疗强度的 IPV 治疗方案显示出有希望的治疗前后效果。本研究通过探索犯罪倾向需求及其与累犯的关系以及最近从 IPV 风险评估工具中提出的治疗强度类别，在 IPV 中的 RNR 原则研究的基础上进一步探讨。我们重新分析了原始安大略省家庭暴力风险评估 (ODARA) 数据集中 1421 名有警方报告的 IPV 男性的数据，以探讨反社会人格特质、亲犯罪态度、物质使用、不良关系和工作/学校问题的普遍性，以及它们与 IPV 累犯和基于 ODARA 的治疗强度类别的关系。在 17%（亲犯罪态度）到 42%（物质使用）的男性中存在需求。除了不良关系外，所有需求都与 IPV 累犯呈正相关；在逻辑回归分析中，反社会人格特质（OR = 1.80）和不良关系（OR = 0.61）在 ODARA （OR = 1.40）的基础上逐次预测 IPV 累犯。根据风险评估分数被分配到更高治疗强度类别的男性有更多的犯罪倾向治疗需求。研究结果支持使用 ODARA 为最严重的 IPV 治疗选择个体，并表明评估和治疗犯罪倾向需求可能会改善 IPV 治疗结果。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
