Os dejo información sobre mi último artículo publicado en "Psychology, crime, and law", revista oficial de la European Association of Psychology and Law. ABSTRACT:
The research describes the criminal profile of 100 imprisoned
partner-violent men (PVM) in Spain, and the follow-up for an average of
15 months of 40 released cases. The ability of the Brief Spousal Assault Form for the Evaluation of Risk
(B-SAFER) to classify offenders according to typologies and to predict
recidivism is analyzed. The results show that PVM have low level of
specialization (only 45% limit their criminal activity to intimate
partner violence (IPV)) and high level of recidivism (47% previously
have been in prison, and 41% have prior arrest for IPV). The B-SAFER
shows a high capacity to classify according to batterers typologies
(accuracy of 79% with a score ≥13) in two groups: non-pathological and antisocial/pathological
offenders. After prison release, 17.5% relapsed (15% in IPV), and 66%
have done so within the first year. The B-SAFER had a predictive
accuracy of 70% (sensitivity 100%). From antisocial/pathological group, 21% have recidivate compared to 12.5% in non-pathological aggressors, with an over-representation of antisocial/pathological
subtype among recidivists (71%). The best predictive variables are the
justification of violence, age at first imprisonment, and treatment.
There is a 9% of recidivism among treated offenders compared to 50% in
the untreated group.
