“…The offenders in the present study varied considerably from the German-speaking populations assessed in previous studies concerning the presence of protective factors ( M = 12.95, SD = 4.11). For example, an outpatient community sample of sexual offenders (Tozdan, Briken, Yoon, & von Franqué, 2015; Yoon et al, 2011) revealed substantially more protective factors as measured with the SAPROF ( M = 14.60, SD = 5.06; M = 17.35, SD = 5.64). The results of the present study might resemble the fact that offenders of this study were (a) higher on risk in general and (b) evaluated in their early stage of incarceration by the FECVSO, which usually is accompanied by lower level of protection.…”

“…A prospective design with more sufficient information to code the SAPROF items in a clinical setting, which would correspond with the development purpose, might result in a stronger validity of the instrument. Moreover, as recently examined in their studies (de Vries Robbe, de Vogel, Douglas, & Nijman, 2015; Tozdan et al, 2015), an examination regarding the relationship between therapeutic changes and posttreatment scores measured by the SAPROF with desistance from various recidivism types in a representative correctional sexual offender sample is warranted.…”

The present study aims at validating the German version of the Structured Assessment of PROtective Factors (SAPROF) for violence risk in a representative sample of incarcerated adult male sexual offenders. Sexual offenders ( n = 450) were rated retrospectively with the SAPROF using the database of the Federal Evaluation Centre for Violent and Sexual Offenders (FECVSO) in the Austrian Prison System. Interrater reliability and predictive validity of the SAPROF scores concerning desistance from recidivism were calculated. Concurrent and incremental validity were tested using the combination of the SAPROF and the Sexual Violence Risk-20 (SVR-20). Interrater reliability was moderate to excellent, and predictive accuracy for various types of recidivism was rather small to moderate. There was a clear negative relationship between the SAPROF and the SVR-20 risk factors. Whereas the SAPROF revealed itself as a significant predictor for various recidivism categories, it did not add any predictive value beyond the SVR-20. Although the SAPROF itself can predict desistance from recidivism, it seems to contribute to the risk assessment in convicted sexual offenders only to a limited extent, once customary risk assessment tools have been applied. Implications for clinical use and further studies are discussed.

“…A small body of empirical research has additionally shown that absent substance abuse, employment, and intimate relationship were positively related to treatment completion [i.e., (19)]. Recent studies have found that a decrease in dynamic risk and an increase in protective factors during treatment predicted reductions in recidivism (20, 21). Therefore, evaluating both risk and protective factors in the course of treatment could enhance treatment completion and outcomes (22, 23).…”

Determinants of Dropout From Correctional Offender Treatment

Research indicates that approximately one third of offenders admitted to social-therapeutic correctional facilities in Germany fail to complete treatment and that treatment dropout is linked to higher recidivism in both sexual and violent offenders. The purpose of this study was to examine determinants of treatment dropout in a social-therapeutic correctional facility in Germany. The sample consisted of 205 incarcerated adult male offenders (49.8% sexual, 38.1% non-sexual violent) admitted to correctional treatment. Completers and dropouts were compared on variables pertaining to demographics, offense type, substance abuse, psychopathy, risk, and protective factors. Univariate analyses showed that treatment dropouts demonstrated significantly higher scores on measures of risk and psychopathy and lower scores on protective factors. Logistic regression analyses identified unemployment, non-sexual violent index offense, higher risk scores (HCR-20), and Facet 1 (interpersonal deficits) of the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) as significant predictors of treatment dropout. Surprisingly, substance abuse disorder was a negative predictor of dropout. With the exception of substance abuse, the results support the notion that treatment dropouts represent a group of high-risk offenders with particular treatment needs. Practical implications and suggestions for further research are discussed.

“…It is conceivable that their judgments were distorted to reduce cognitive dissonance in therapies with no progress. However, according to the study of Tozdan et al ( 64 ), the therapist's initial assessments and their judgment of treatment success had predictive validity. Therefore, a strong confounding effect is rather unlikely.…”

Mandated or Voluntary Treatment of Men Who Committed Child Sexual Abuse: Is There a Difference?

Child sexual abuse is associated with multiple and often severe consequences for people who are affected by it. From the perspective of indicative prevention, the treatment of people who have sexually abused children represents one important strategy, with the assumption that there is often a risk for sexual recidivism. However, there is still very limited knowledge about how men who have not been convicted of child sexual abuse but participate in voluntary treatment (here called non-forensic clients) differ from those who have been convicted and undergo mandated treatment (here called forensic clients). This study compared 22 forensic and 22 non-forensic clients regarding pedophilic interests, static and dynamic risk factors, responsivity features, and treatment progress during an individualized treatment based on the principles of risk, need, and responsivity. We found neither differences in the rates in the DSM-5 diagnosis of pedophilic disorder, nor in risk and responsivity associated scores at the beginning of treatment. In both groups, a low to moderate risk for sexual re-offending was estimated. Both groups improved their functioning on dynamic risk and responsivity factors under treatment, while age at the beginning of therapy also had a positive effect on all outcomes. Non-forensic clients had a higher amount of responsivity associated resources than forensic clients during treatment. The limitations of these results and their implications for further research and prevention approaches are discussed.

Abstract: The therapists were able to identify high-risk clients and seemed to mainly focus their interventions towards factors associated with new offences.
