Abstract

This study investigated the predictive validity of the Criminal Sentiments Scale (CSS: Gendreau, Grant, Leipciger, & Collins, 1979) within a sample of violent and sex offenders using conviction and failure on conditional release as the criterion variables. The CSS was completed by 130 male offenders (65 sex offenders and 65 violent offenders) commencing a sentence of greater than two years in a Canadian federal institution. Average time at risk for the sample was 16 months. Arrest and conviction rates for violent offenders and sex offenders were 24.6% and 13.8% respectively, overall failure on release resulting in reincarceration was 41.5% and 18.5% respectively. The results showed no relationship between the CSS and recidivism or release failure. Implications for clinical use among this population of offenders are discussed.

摘要

本研究以定罪和有条件释放失败作为标准变量，在暴力和性犯罪者样本中调查了犯罪情绪量表（CSS：Gendreau、Grant、Leipciger和Collins，1979）的预测效度。130名男性罪犯（65名性犯罪者和65名暴力犯罪者）在加拿大联邦机构开始服刑两年以上，他们完成了CSS量表测试。样本的平均风险期为16个月。暴力犯罪者和性犯罪者的逮捕率和定罪率分别为24.6%和13.8%，释放后总体失败导致重新入狱的比例分别为41.5%和18.5%。结果表明，CSS与累犯或释放失败之间没有关系。文中讨论了该量表在这类罪犯群体临床应用中的意义。
