Full textAbstract:
The Historical, Clinical, and Risk Management (HCR-20) violence risk assessment scheme was coded in a sample of 75 Canadian male, federally sentenced, maximum-security offenders. The concurrent validity of the HCR-20 was assessed through comparison to other risk instruments and to the presence of several past indexes of violent and antisocial behavior. The HCR-20 showed moderate to strong relationships with the concurrent measures. The HCR-20 was as or more strongly related to past violence than were the Psychopathy Checklist—Revised or the Violence Risk Appraisal Guide. Scores above the median of the HCR-20 increased the odds of the presence of various measures of past violence and antisocial behavior by an average of four times. Although recognizing the limitations of a small sample and retrospective design, the results give some indication that the HCR-20 may be worth investigating as a useful tool for violence risk assessments in correctional samples.

BackgroundRisk assessment of future violent acts is of great importance for both public protection and care planning. Structured clinical assessments offer a method by which accurate assessments could be achieved.AimsTo test the efficacy of the Historical, Clinical and Risk Management Scales (HCR–20) structured risk assessment scheme on a large sample of male forensic psychiatric patients discharged from medium secure units in the UK.MethodIn a pseudo-prospective study, 887 male patients were followed for at least 2 years. The HCR-20 was completed using only pre-discharge information, and violent and other offending behaviour post-discharge was obtained from official records.ResultsThe HCR–20 total score was a good predictor of both violent and other offences following discharge. The historical and risk sub-scales were both able to predict offences, but the clinical sub-scale did not produce significant predictions. The predictive efficacy was highest for short periods (under 1 year) and showed a modest fall in efficacy over longer periods (5 years).ConclusionsThe results provide a strong evidence base that the HCR–20 is a good predictor of both violent and non-violent offending following release from medium secure units for male forensic psychiatric patients in the UK.

Abstract Objective: This preliminary study aimed to identify and compare characteristics related to violent behavior in inpatients with schizophrenia at a general psychiatric hospital using the Historical, Clinical, and Risk Management 20 (HCR-20), the Modified Overt Aggression Scale (MOAS), and sociodemographic data. Method: Violent and nonviolent participants were selected based on psychiatric admission reports. Participants with reports of aggressive behavior and HCR-20 total score ≥ 21 upon admission were assigned to the violent patient group. Participants without aggressive behavior and with HCR-20 total score < 21 upon admission were assigned to the nonviolent patient group. The MOAS was applied to characterize the degree of severity of the violent behavior. Results: HCR-20 and its subscales were effective in differentiating between the violent and nonviolent participant groups. Twelve of the 20 HCR-20 items were useful for distinguishing between the groups, although total HCR-20 scores were more reliable when applied to the nonviolent patient group. The MOAS did not show high degrees of severity for the types of aggression observed in the participants. Conclusion: HCR-20 was useful and reliable for distinguishing between violent and nonviolent patients with schizophrenia in this clinical psychiatric setting. Item analysis identified the most relevant characteristics in each group. The use of the HCR-20 in clinical psychiatric settings should be encouraged.

Full textAbstract:
The present study featured an investigation of the predictive properties of risk and change scores of two violence risk assessment and treatment planning tools—the Violence Risk Scale (VRS) and the Historical, Clinical, Risk–20, Version 2 (HCR-20)—in sample of 178 treated adult male violent offenders who attended a high-intensity violence reduction program. The cases were rated on the VRS and HCR-20 using archival information sources and followed up nearly 10 years postrelease. Associations of HCR-20 and VRS risk and change scores with postprogram institutional and community recidivism were examined. VRS and HCR-20 scores converged in conceptually meaningful ways, supporting the construct validity of the tools for violence risk. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses demonstrated moderate- to high-predictive accuracy of VRS and HCR-20 scores for violent and general community recidivism, but weaker accuracy for postprogram institutional recidivism. Cox regression survival analyses demonstrated that positive pretreatment and posttreatment changes, as assessed via the HCR-20 and VRS, were each significantly associated with reductions in violent and general community recidivism, as well as serious institutional misconducts, after controlling for baseline pretreatment score. Implications for use of the HCR-20 and VRS for dynamic violence risk assessment and management are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
This study compared the predictive validity of multiple indices of violence risk among 188 general population criminal offenders: Historical-Clinical-Risk Management-20 (HCR-20) Violence Risk Assessment Scheme, Violence Risk Appraisal Guide (VRAG), Violent Offender Risk Assessment Scale (VORAS), Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R), and Screening Version (PCL:SV). Several indices were related to violent recidivism with large statistical effect sizes: HCR-20 (Total, Clinical and Risk Management scales, structured risk judgments), VRAG, and behavioral scales of psychopathy measures. Multivariate analyses showed that HCR-20 indices were consistently related to violence and that the VRAG entered some analyses. Findings are inconsistent with a position of strict actuarial superiority, as HCR-20 structured risk judgments—an index of structured professional or clinical judgment—were as strongly related to violence.

Full textAbstract:
Aims and MethodThe aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive validity of the HCR–20 risk assessment instrument for the case-load of an inner-city community forensic team. File review and an interview with the keyworker for each patient were used to compile the information, and the author completed the HCR–20 for all patients. Cases were followed up for an average of 2.5 years to collect information on recidivism.ResultsThe risk profile for this sample was comparable to published North American studies. Patients who were subsequently charged with or convicted of violent offences all scored highly on the HCR–20.Clinical ImplicationsThe HCR–20 appears to be a useful instrument for stratifying risk within community forensic samples; this finding has implications for intensity of treatment and supervision. However, the data also suggest that services need to target criminogenic variables more effectively.

Full textAbstract:
Samhället eftersträvar att förhindra våld. Tre ansatser har etablerats för att avgöra farlighet och för att bedöma risk för våld; den ostrukturerade professionella bedömningsansatsen, den aktuariska bedömningsansatsen, samt den strukturerade professionella bedömningsansatsen. HCR-20 är ett strukturerat professionellt bedömningsinstrument med hög validitet och interbedömarreliabilitet i bedömning av risk för våld. HCR-20 genomgår en evidensbaserad uppdatering och den reviderade versionen skall utvärderas - syftet med studien var därför att undersöka interbedömarreliabilitet för den tredje versionen av HCR-20 [HCR-V3]. Vid Rättspsykiatriska regionkliniken i Sundsvall riskbedömdes 35 patienter som inskrivits för tvångsvård under februari 2010 till oktober 2011. Interbedömarreliabilitet undersöktes för grad av överensstämmelse mellan bedömare samt också gentemot Golden Standard, bedömarnas gemensamma bedömning av patienten. Överensstämmelsen i HCR-V3bedömningarna beräknades på huvudfaktorer och på relevansfaktorer med Kendall’s τb, Cohen’s Κ, och ICC(1,2). HCR-V3 påvisade hög interbedömarreliabilitet med hög grad av överensstämmelse mellan användarnas bedömning av patientens risk för våld. Det var högre interbedömarreliabilitet för H-delen och C-delen än för R-delen. Överensstämmelsen mellan enskilda bedömare och Golden Standard var högre än överensstämmelsen mellan två bedömare, och huvudfaktorerna indikerade på högre interbedömarreliabilitet än relevansfaktorerna. Utifrån resultatet drogs slutsatsen att riskbedömningsinstrumentet HCR-V3 förmodligen inte skulle bli mer användarvänligt med relevansfaktorer, men att huvudfaktorerna ger hög interbedömarreliabilitet och att HCR-V3 därmed kan vara lämplig i klinisk verksamhet för att förhindra våld.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund Målet med den rättspsykiatriska vården är att patienterna skall kunna återvända till ett gott liv utanför vården utan återfall i kriminalitet. Socialstyrelsen har klargjort att patienter inom den specialiserade psykiatriska vården ska riskbedömas. Den strukturerade professionella bedömningen, som HCR-20, är en vetenskapligt framtagen checklista och har visat sig ha både hög validitet och reliabilitet. Arbetet med bedömning av och förståelse för risk för våld och eller återfall i brottslighet är något av det säregna i arbetet för sjuksköterskor inom den rättspsykiatriska vården Syfte Belysa hur den kunskap som framkommer genom riskbedömningsformuläret HCR-20 omsätts i omvårdnadsarbetet vid rättspsykiatrisk vård. Metod Datainsamlingen gjordes med åtta intervjuer som sedan analyserades genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet I resultatet har två kategorier framträtt som är att Synliggör risker och Underlag till planering. Under dessa två kategorier finns ett antal underkategorier. Personalen ser i stort inga uppenbara brister med HCR-20 utan anser att det är ett bra system som fyller sin funktion. Vid HCR-20 bedömning förs dialog om vad man som personal kan lägga fokus på och vilka risker som kan minskas. Det upplevs intressant att se när risker minskas samt att man tolkar den förändring som skattningsinstrumentet visar som framsteg i arbetet. Diskussion Författarna menar att resultatet belyser något om hur arbetet runt HCR-20 och riskhantering vid rättspsykiatrisk vård uppfattas av omvårdnadspersonal samt att utvecklingsmöjligheter har identifierats.<br>Background The purpose of forensic psychiatric care is that patients are able to return to a good life outside care without criminal recidivism . Swedish law has clarified that the patients in specialist mental health services should be risk assessed . The structured professional risk assessment, like the HCR- 20, is a scientifically formulated checklist and have been shown to have both high validity and reliability. Work on the assessment and understanding of the risk of violence and recidivism is one of the peculiarity of the work of nurses in forensic psychiatry Aim Highlighting how the knowledge obtained from the risk assessment form, HCR- 20 is put into the nursing work in forensic nursing. Methods The data was collected with eight interviews then analyzed by qualitative content analysis. Results The result has two categories emerged as Visualize risks and Basis for planning. Within these two categories there are a number of subcategories. The staff looks basically no obvious flaws with the HCR- 20, and believe it is a good system that fulfills its function. At HCR- 20 assessment dialogue is conducted on what personnel can focus on and what risks that can be reduced. It felt interesting to see when the risks are reduced and that we interpret the change that estimate the instrument as progress in working with the patients. Discussion The authors believe that the results illustrate how the work around the HCR- 20 and risk management in forensic nursing is perceived by the nursing staff as well as development opportunities have been identified.

Full textAbstract:
Att göra bedömningar av risk för våld hos frihetsberövade personer på fängelser och i olika former av tvångsvård är en viktig del av arbetet med att reducera antalet våldsincidenter, vilket är till nytta både för frihetsberövade personer och för personalens arbetsmiljö. Syftet med denna studie är att göra en kunskapsöversikt över vad forskningen säger om att bedöma risk för våld hos frihetsberövade personer, beskriva aktuell forskning om riskbedömningar, hur strukturerade instrument för riskbedömningar definierar våld, vilka teoretiska utgångspunkter till uppkomst av våld som används och i vilken utsträckning riskbedömningsinstrument tar hänsyn till interaktion mellan personal och frihetsberövade personer. Studien genomförs igenom en litteraturstudie med en innehållsanalys av forskning på området utifrån frågeställningarna i syftet. Sökorden är ”inmate”, ”inpatient”, ”violence”, ”risk”, ”assessment”, ”juvenile” och ”youth”. Reslutatet av studien visar att det finns ett flertal instrument som som forskningen visar har god validitet och även inter-bedömarreliabilitet för att bedöma risk för våld, nämligen Brøset Violence Checklist (BVC), Historical-Clinical-Risk management-20(HCR-20), Dynamic Appraisal of Situational Agression (DASA) och Structured Assessment of Violencerisk in Youth(SAVRY). Utöver detta finns även några bedömningsinstrument som använder enbart statiska variabler för att bedöma risk för våld hos frihetsberövade, även kallade aktuariska modeller. Forskning visar generellt att föränderliga, dynamiska variabler som snabbare förändras har starkare prediktiv validitet för att bedöma risk för våld hos frihetsberövade på kort sikt, än historiska och statiska data. BVC och DASA tar större hänsyn till interaktionen mellan frihetsberövad och personal för att bedöma risk än HCR-20 och SAVRY, som inte är primärt konstruerade för att bedöma risk för våld i ett omedelbart kort perspektiv. Resultatet diskuteras utifrån studiens styrkor och svagheter och etiska problem med att bedöma risk för våld hos frihetsberövade. Syftet med olika typer av frihetsberövande och olika kategorier frihetsberövade personer som har olika behov, gör att resultaten inte utan reflektion kan överföras från en grupp till en annan. Etiska överväganden blir aktuella utifrån att informationen som framkommer vid en riskbedömning kan leda till repressiva interventioner, och att detta långt ifrån alltid är något önskvärt.<br>Assessing risk for violence among incarcerated people in prisons, in inpatient settings and otherwise, is an important part of the work aimed at reducing the number of violent encounters in these settings. Reducing violence is beneficial for both incarcerated persons and for the staffs work environment. The purpose of this thesis is to make a review of research of how to assess risk for violence among incarcerated people in different settings, describe research about the assessment methods, how these methods define ‘violence’ and what theoretical explanations to violence that are used. Furthermore, what level of consideration for the interaction between staff and incarcerated people is taken when assessing risk for violence. The thesis is performed by searching for, and analyzing written material with the questions asked in the purpose of the study. The following words are used for search in databases: “inmate”, “inpatient”, “violence”, “risk”, “assessment”, “juvenile” and “youth”. The findings in the study gives that there are models for assessing violence, with research-proven validity and mostly also interrater-reliability, namely: Brøset Violence Checklist (BVC), Historical-Clinical-Risk management-20(HCR-20), Dynamic Appraisal of Situational Aggression (DASA) and Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY). Aside from these findings there are also some models using only static variables to assess risk for violence among incarcerated, also known as “actuarial” models. Generally, the research shows that more dynamic variables that are prone to change, has stronger validity in predicting violence among incarcerated than historical, static data. The BVC and the DASA takes greater consideration to interaction between staff and incarcerated than the HCR-20 and the SAVRY, that is not primarily constructed to assess risk for violence in forensic/caregiving settings in the immediate short term. The result is discussed on basis of the strengths and weaknesses of the thesis, as well as ethical problems with assessing risk for violence among people that have been deprived of their freedom. The purpose of different kinds of incarcerations and different categories of incarcerated people that have different needs, may cause need for the results to be carefully considered- What does apply in one setting may not be true in another. From an ethical point of view, it is to be taken into consideration how the information from violence risk assessments is used, since punitive and repressing interventions often is far from desired.

Full textAbstract:
Rättspsykiatriska patienter är en grupp med mycket psykosocial belastning i barndomen och mer forskning behövs kring bland annat huruvida det finns samband mellan denna psykosociala belastning, framtida brottslighet och bedömd risk för våld. Denna studies syfte var att jämföra brottslighet, psykosocial belastning i barndomen samt initiala riskbedömningar gjorda med HCR-20 på kvinnor respektive män vårdade vid Rättspsykiatriska Regionkliniken i Sundsvall. Vidare undersöktes ifall förekomst av psykosocial belastning i barndomen korrelerade med bedömd risk för våld bedömd med HCR-20 eller med brottslighet hos patienterna. Studiens sampel bestod av 10 kvinnor och 39 män varav majoriteten vårdades enligt LRV. Data samlades in från journaler, rättspsykiatriska undersökningar och domar samt genom enskilda intervjuer. Resultatet visade att kvinnorna oftare var dömda för mordbrand (p <.05) eller vårdade enligt LPT (p <.01) jämfört med männen, medan männen oftare än kvinnorna var dömda för något våldsbrott (p <.05), hade fler domar (p <.01) och var yngre vid sin första dom (p <.05). Gällande psykosocial belastning var kvinnorna oftare än männen utsatta för sexuella övergrepp i barndomen (p <.001), men inga andra könsskillnader fanns. Angående risk för våld konstaterades inga könsskillnader gällande varken någon av subskalorna eller totalpoängen och de signifikanta skillnaderna gällande enskilda riskfaktorer var få. Inga signifikanta korrelationer fanns mellan psykosocial belastning i barndomen och brottslighet eller risk för våld. Det diskuteras sedan att dessa resultat var utifrån tidigare forskning både förväntade och icke förväntade samt att framtida studier med fördel skulle kunna göras på samma ämnesområde men med ett större sampel.<br><p>2013-06-10</p>

Full textAbstract:
The thesis consists of two volumes. Volume 1: This volume consists of three chapters. The first chapter is a literature review examining whether there is a link between psychopathy and self-harm. The second chapter is a quantitative study investigating whether scores on the HCR-20 and FAM risk assessment tools predict frequency of self-harm in females within a secure psychiatric hospital. The third chapter comprises a public domain briefing document which provides a plain language summary of the literature review and empirical paper. Volume 2: This volume consists of five Forensic Clinical Practice Reports (FCPRs). The first details the case of a 63-year-old man with depression and paranoid schizophrenia, formulated from both cognitive and psychodynamic perspectives. The second is a service evaluation examining whether scores on the HCR-20 and HoNOS decrease over time for patients detained within a secure psychiatric hospital, and whether individuals’ scores on these measures reflect the level of security in which they reside. The third FCPR documents the case of a 34-year-old man experiencing offence-related anxiety, shame and depression. The fourth FCPR is a single-case experimental design investigating the effectiveness of a trauma-focussed cognitive-behavioural intervention for offence-related PTSD. The fifth FCPR is an abstract of an oral case presentation of a 14-year-old girl experiencing school anxiety. Pseudonyms have been used throughout to ensure anonymity.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Forskning har visat att förekomst av riskfaktorer för brottsrecidiv skiljer sig mellan vålds- och sexualbrottslingar. Ytterligare forskning behövs dock om skillnader mellan mer specifika brottskategorier. Syftet var att undersöka skillnader mellan män dömda för mord (n=363), dråp (n=110), rån (n=238), sexualbrott mot vuxen (n=71) respektive sexualbrott mot barn (n=57) avseende ålder, psykopatiprofil enligt PCL-R samt riskkaraktäristika bedömt med HCR-20. Resultatet visade att personer dömda för sexualbrott mot barn hade lägre förekomst av historiska riskfaktorer, lägre grad av psykopati, samt var äldre än övriga grupper. Gruppen dömda för dråp hade en lägre grad av psykopatisk personlighet (faktor 1) än de andra våldsbrottsgrupperna, mord och rån, medan de hade den antisociala livsstilen typisk för psykopater (faktor 2). Det omvända gällde för gruppen sexualbrott mot vuxen. Grupperna rån och mord liknade varandra på flertalet variabler, dock var personer dömda för rån yngre än samtliga grupper. Resultaten har betydelse för utformande av åtgärder avsedda att minska recidivrisken.</p>

Full textAbstract:
When assessing the risk of violence, increasing interest has been shown in bringing science and practice closer together. Moving from clinical intuition in the first generation of risk assessment via actuarial scales in the second generation to the structured professional judgments where risk assessments are today produces better, more valid results when assessing the risk of violence. One of the best predictors of violence is gender. Approximately 10% of the violent criminality can be attributed to women; even so, it is increasing, especially among young women. It is therefore important to examine risk assessments from a gender perspective. Another important factor when assessing the risk of violence is psychopathy and there are indications that there might be gender differences in this diagnosis. Thus, a special interest has been focused on psychopathy in this thesis. The purpose with this work is to explore the similarities and differences in assessing risk for violence in male and female mentally disordered offenders, while the overall aim is to validate the violence risk assessment instrument HCR-20 for Swedish offender populations. The risk assessments for all six studies in this thesis were made by trained personnel using the HCR-20 instrument, where psychopathy was diagnosed with the screening version of the Psychopathy Checklist (PCL:SV). The study populations were both male and female mentally disordered offenders in either the correctional or the forensic setting. The findings show that both the validity and the reliability of the HCR-20 and the PCL:SV were good and the clinical and risk management subscales were found to have better predictive validity than the historical scale. Another finding was that there were more similarities than differences between genders in the HCR-20, while the opposite applied to the PCL:SV, where the antisocial behavior was performed in a different manner. Moreover, it was found that the gender of the assessor might be a factor to take into account when assessing the risk of violence in women, where the recommendation was that at least one assessor should be female. The conclusions were that the HCR-20 and the PCL:SV can be used In Swedish offender populations with valid results. For female offenders, there are differences in the antisocial behavior that is assessed in order to diagnose psychopathy and these differences tend to underestimate psychopathy among female offenders. Furthermore, the gender of the assessor might be of greater importance than has previously been realized. The overall conclusion was that this thesis supports the structural professional judgment method of making risk assessments in order to prevent violence in the community.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter provides a novel framework for risk assessment and management by combining the Perception of Interprofessional Collaboration Model (PINCOM) and Historical-Clinical-Risk Management-20, Version 3 (HCR-20V3). PINCOM was developed to identify central aspects of interprofessional collaboration, whereas HCR-20V3 is the most used instrument in risk assessment of violence worldwide. The main scope of this chapter is to introduce and discuss the feasibility of combining the two tools to enhance collaboration between service providers in the mental health and criminal justice systems. First, we describe the HCR-20V3 and suggest how parts of it can be jointly used as a tool for concrete collaboration in the practice field. Next, we present the PINCOM tool, containing a conceptual model (PINCOM) and a research methodology (PINCOM-Q). It is suggested that the HCR-20V3 serves as a meeting point between different professionals for being concrete in joint casework. PINCOM can then be used within a larger social innovation framework and as a reflective tool during or after this structured professional assessment and acting as a catalyser for constructive collaboration.
