Criminal Behavior as a Function of Clinical and Actuarial Variables in a Sexual Offender Population.
Hall, Gordon C. Nagayama
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v56 n5 p773-75 Oct 1988
Investigated ability of clinical and actuarial variables to predict criminal behavior of 342 sexual offenders previously studied in 1987. Results suggested linear combination of actuarial variables was significantly predictive of sexual reoffenses against adults and of nonsexual reoffending. Clinical judgment was not significantly predictive of recidivism, nor were actuarial or clinical variables predictive of sexual reoffending against children. (Author/NB)
