“…The combination of these factors generates clinical symptoms such as cognitive distortions, emotional problems, and deviant arousal through which sexual offending occurs (Ward & Beech, ). A fourth framework for criminal and violent behaviour is the offence paralleling behaviour framework (OPB; Jones, , ). The behaviours, beliefs, and affects in the lead up to the offence are believed to be similar to current behaviour because it has the same function or is driven by the same process (Daffern, Lawrence, et al ., ; Jones, ).…”

“…There are, nevertheless, several similarities between ST and other frameworks (e.g., CAT and OPB). For example, the sequence of schema modes is comparable with CAT's sequential RRP diagrams (Ryle, ; Pollock et al ., ) and OPB's chain of events (Jones, , ), and ST is partly based on psychoanalytic (transactional) concepts (i.e., ego states; Berne, ; Watkins & Watkins, ). What distinguishes ST from other therapies or frameworks is that it has a more integrative focus compared to other therapies.…”

Purpose A clear understanding of an offender's criminal behaviour is a prerequisite for determining suitable treatment. In the literature, several specific frameworks or therapeutic approaches that aim to explicate criminal behaviour can be distinguished (e.g., cognitive analytic therapy, offence paralleling behaviour paradigm), but Schema Therapy (ST) is becoming an increasingly popular paradigm. According to forensic ST's theoretical framework, criminal and violent behaviour can be explained by an unfolding sequence of schema modes, or moment‐to‐moment states that represent emotions, cognitions, and behaviour. In this study, we examine the validity of this theory and the relationship between schema modes, psychopathy, and institutional violence. Methods Schema modes were assessed retrospectively from descriptions of patients’ crimes in a sample of 95 hospitalized cluster B personality disordered offenders. Psychopathy was rated with the Psychopathy Checklist‐Revised and institutional transgressions were coded from daily hospital reports. Results Our findings show that criminal behaviour is often preceded by schema modes that refer to feelings of vulnerability and abandonment, loneliness, and states of intoxication. Criminal behaviour itself is characterized by schema modes that refer to states of impulsivity, anger, and the use of overcompensatory strategies involving threats, intimidation, and aggression. Schema modes involving bullying and manipulation were positively correlated with the interpersonal facet of psychopathy; the vulnerable child mode was negatively correlated with the affective facet of psychopathy. The schema modes in this study moderately predicted later institutional transgressions. Conclusions Our findings suggest that the schema mode concept is of explanatory value in understanding criminal and violent behaviour.

“…Although it is a novel term, OPB has its foundation in existing theoretical and conceptual frameworks (for review see Jones, ); the notion of monitoring and modifying manifestations of persistent maladaptive behaviours as they arise in therapy resembles strategies used in functional analytic psychotherapy (Kohlenberg & Tsai, ) and schema therapy (Young, Klosko, & Weishaar, ). Within the forensic field, empirical evidence from research on sexual crimes (Grubin, Kelly, & Brunsdon, ) and burglary (Bennell & Canter, ) has consistently supported the view that if similar psychological components are activated then consistency in behaviour may occur across different situations and crimes (McDougall, Clark, & Fisher, ; Shoda, ), an assumption that provides the theoretical foundation for case‐ linkage analysis (Woodhams, Hollin, & Bull, ).…”

“…Engaging the multidisciplinary team to intervene as an offender enters a behavioural sequence that parallels their offending maximizes the potential for change. Additionally, OPBs can aid risk assessment as an adjunct to the nomothetic approach emphasized through many structured risk assessment instruments (Jones, ). OPBs can also be used to guide intervention by identifying problem areas (i.e., those which maintain risk) and selecting the most appropriate type of intervention.…”

Purpose. Offence paralleling behaviour (OPB) is a relatively new concept that emphasizes the assessment and modification of behavioural patterns that parallel criminal offending. Extant empirical research into OPB has typically focussed on the similarity between aggressive behaviours observed in custody and violent index offences perpetrated in the community; the results of these studies have been inconsistent, with the degree of similarity varying within subjects and across studies; (Daffern, Howells, Stacey, Hogue, & Mooney, 2008;Daffern, Howells, Mannion, & Tonkin, 2009). The aim of this study was to establish the level of similarity between OPB predictions and actual inpatient aggressive behaviours.Method. This prospective pilot study used a novel practice algorithm (Jones, 2010a) to develop a reference formulation from which OPBs and Pro-social alternate behaviours (PABs), the pro-social variants of OPBs, were predicted. Participants were five mentally disordered offenders resident in a UK medium secure psychiatric unit. Following generation of a reference formulation and OPB and PAB predictions the participants were monitored for 6 months. The degree of similarity between predicted and actual OPBs and PABs was calculated using Jaccard's coefficient.Results. Results indicated considerable similarity between matched (pairing predictions and their corresponding actual behaviours) OPBs, which were also more similar than random pairs (pairing randomly selected predictions and aggressive behaviours).Conclusion. This study revealed the existence of OPB in mentally disordered offenders and has provided the first test of a novel practice algorithm, revealing its potential to guide OPB formulations.
