L’évaluation du risque en fonction de l’âge : l’efficacité de l’évaluation structurée dans la prédiction de la récidive
Eight evaluation techniques demonstrating high risk sexual offenders has been taken upon 580 individual sexual offenders. They are among the VRAG, the SORAG, the RRASOR, the Static-99, the Static-2002, the RM-2000, the MnSORT-R ans the SVR-20. Also, the subjects have been quoted according to the PCL-R, which focuses on their mental health, however supporting the quotes by prediction and relaps (Gendreau, Little, et Goggin, 1996). With the ongoing measuring of the suitability of these instruments as well as the PCL-R, it will take a period of 25 years for the observance. As well, a group of subjects have been studied from the age they were let out of prison, to come up with conclusions differentiating the offenders aging 34 and less with the offenders aging 35 and older. The present work on this subject matter hopes to focus on three research objectives: 1) Describe the evolution of risk according to the age, 2) To study the common point between age, they type of offender, and their relaps, and 3) To compare the suitability of 9 instruments the predict 4 types of relaps according to their age. The study results suggest that age affects the level of risk posed by offenders. Furthermore, analyses of different types of recidivism indicate that the preferred type of victim offender also influences the level of risk. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
