Indirect Assessment of Cognitions of Child Sexual Abusers With the Implicit Association Test (2007, background): “It was, however, unexpected that the sexy child IAT would not be more strongly correlated with the RRASOR because it has been conceptualized by some as a more focused measure of sexual deviance than the Static-99 (Roberts et al., 2002).”
DO SOME EVALUATORS REPORT CONSISTENTLY HIGHER OR LOWER PCL-R SCORES THAN OTHERS? Findings From a Statewide Sample of Sexually Violent Predator Evaluations (2008, background): “Moreover, the same three evaluators who differed in the mean PCL–R scores they assigned to offenders in Wisconsin did not differ in the STATIC-99 scores they assigned to offenders (Roberts et al., 2002).”
Antisociality, Sexual Deviance, and Sexual Reoffending in Juvenile Sex Offenders (2008, background): “Roberts, Doren, and Thornton (2002), analyzing the factorial structure of different risk assessment tools used with sex offenders, found that they tend to tap two risk factors domains, that is, sexual deviance (labeled pedophilia and repetitiveness) and antisociality (labeled antisocial/violence).”
The Relationship of Statistical and Psychological Risk Markers to Sexual Reconviction in Child Molesters (2007, result): “These results are consistent with Roberts, Doren, and Thornton (2002), who argue that actuarial scales reflect the combination of distinct factors for sexual deviance and general criminality.”
