Resumen
TAPIAS-SALDANA, Ángela. Application of the violence recidivism instruments HCR-20 and SVR-20 in two groups of Colombian offenders. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2011, vol.53, n.1, pp.307-327. ISSN 1794-3108.
This research of exploratory nature, with its non-experimental and transversal or trans-sectional design was aimed at determining if the forensic and psychological assessment instruments known as HCR-20 (Historical Clinical Risk) and SVR-20 (Sexual Violence Risk) are discriminative at the time of evaluating a group of recidivist rapists and another group of individuals charged with minor crimes. Indicators were present for both HCR-20 and SVR-20 in he two groups. Significant indicators were found in the groups' scores for the SVR-20, but not for the HCR-20. Finally, new risk factors that may be included in forensic instruments were observed.
