Hi Denis.
Seems to me that your suggestion regarding sexual deviance as a case
specific factor is in line with the manual guidance [p76]. In our male
and female sex offender populations we have certainly taken this
approach. We have however, placed 'sexual violence' within the START/
HCR definition of violence for the purposes of the risk estimate[this
probably warrants analysis]; We use the modified START Outcome/ Yudofsky
Scale to capture sexually inappropriate behaviours.
Further refinement then occurs through the SVR-20/RSVP when appropriate.
Best wishes
Kaz

Subject: [startgroup] sexual violence risk and the START
Has anyone used "sexual violence" as a "case specific" risk estimate on
the START? I would think that, given the meta-analyses, one should add
sexual deviance as a "case specific" strength/vulnerability. Comments
please.
Thanks.
Denis
