Recent research has highlighted the importance of protective factors in preventing sexual offense recidivism and led to the development of a number of strengths-based approaches to the treatment of adult males who have been convicted of sexual offenses. However, these approaches have not been supported by structured methods to assess protective factors. The Structured Assessment of PROtective Factors against Sexual Offending (SAPROF-SO) was designed to bridge the gap between assessment and strengths-based treatment, and the current study contributes to the validation of that instrument. The SAPROF-SO was rated retrospectively for adult males released on supervised release from a secure treatment center in the US ( = 170). SAPROF-SO total scores predicted supervised release success as measured by revocation outcomes. In addition, results highlighted the utility of the SAPROF-SO Resilience subscale in predicting supervised release revocation for any reason and the Adaptive Sexuality subscale in predicting sexually related revocations. Notably, the SAPROF-SO demonstrated incremental validity over the Static-99R, which was not predictive of revocation outcomes. Implications for the management of sexual offense risk when planning and administering release from criminal justice contexts are discussed.
近期研究突出了保护因素在预防性犯罪再犯中的重要性，并促使人们开发了多种基于优势的方法来治疗已被判性犯罪的成年男性。然而，这些方法并未得到评估保护因素的结构化方法的支持。《性犯罪保护因素结构化评估量表（SAPROF-SO）》旨在弥合评估与基于优势的治疗之间的差距，当前研究有助于该工具的验证。对从美国一个安全治疗中心获监督释放的成年男性（ = 170）进行了《性犯罪保护因素结构化评估量表（SAPROF-SO）》的回顾性评分。《性犯罪保护因素结构化评估量表（SAPROF-SO）》的总分可预测以撤销结果衡量的监督释放成功率。此外，结果突出了《性犯罪保护因素结构化评估量表（SAPROF-SO）》的复原力子量表在预测因任何原因导致的监督释放撤销方面的效用，以及适应性性行为子量表在预测与性相关的撤销方面的效用。值得注意的是，《性犯罪保护因素结构化评估量表（SAPROF-SO）》相对于《静态-99R》表现出递增效度，后者无法预测撤销结果。文中讨论了在规划和实施从刑事司法环境中释放时，对性犯罪风险管理的启示。
