Abstract

Preventing in-prison violence and maintaining a safe environment is an important goal within prison settings. Screening for violence risk may provide a valuable addition to reach this goal. Within the Dutch prison system, the Risk Screener Violence (RS-V) has become an important new element in overall risk management. Prior research shows that RS-V scores are a sound predictor of institutional violence and aggression of incarcerated persons. Whereas previous studies predominantly analyzed retrospective file-based data, the present study includes RS-Vs rated by prison employees in real-life prison practice shortly after implementation. The RS-Vs of 956 detained individuals from 25 Dutch prisons were analyzed. Disciplinary reports were consulted to measure violent and aggressive incidents during 4 months after the screening. In addition, detention duration (length of stay in prison before the screening) was included as an additional variable. Results of the present prison practice study show good predictive values of the RS-V ratings for violent and aggressive incidents during prison stay. The predictive validity was similar for prisoner-to-prisoner assault as well as prisoner-to-staff assault. In addition, the predictive validity of the RS-V scores did not differ between individuals with a longer detention duration versus individuals with a shorter detention duration. This multisite prison practice study is an important step in the further validation of the RS-V and shows that the RS-V is a valuable tool in determining who is more likely to show institutional violence. Nonetheless, it remains important to continually monitor the implementation and correct application of the RS-V in prison practice. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

利用暴力风险筛选器(RS-V)对监狱实践中的暴力和攻击事件进行前瞻性预测:一项多地点监狱研究的结果。
预防狱内暴力和维护安全环境是监狱环境中的一个重要目标。暴力风险筛查为实现这一目标提供了宝贵的补充。在荷兰监狱系统中,暴力风险筛查(RS-V)已成为整体风险管理的一个重要新要素。先前的研究表明,RS-V 分数可以很好地预测被监禁者的机构暴力和攻击行为。之前的研究主要分析的是基于档案的回顾性数据,而本研究则包括了监狱员工在实际监狱实践中对 RS-V 实施后不久进行的评分。本研究分析了来自荷兰 25 所监狱的 956 名被拘留者的 RS-V。研究人员查阅了纪律报告,以衡量筛查后 4 个月内发生的暴力和攻击事件。此外,拘留时间(筛查前在监狱中的逗留时间)也被作为额外变量纳入其中。本次监狱实践研究的结果表明,RS-V 评级对监狱服刑期间的暴力和攻击事件具有良好的预测价值。囚犯对囚犯的攻击行为和囚犯对工作人员的攻击行为的预测有效性相似。此外,RS-V 评分的预测有效性在拘留时间较长的人与拘留时间较短的人之间没有差异。这项多地点监狱实践研究是进一步验证 RS-V 的重要一步,表明 RS-V 是确定哪些人更有可能表现出机构暴力的重要工具。尽管如此,持续监督 RS-V 在监狱实践中的实施和正确应用仍然非常重要。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA,保留所有权利)。
