摘要:The Short-Term Assessment of Risk and Treatability: Adolescent Version (START: AV,Viljoen,Nicholls,Cruise,Desmarais,& Webster,2014) provides a structural professional judgement on the risk of adverse outcomes related to harm to others and rule violations.The advantage of START: AV is in that it includes the assessment of both strengths and vulnerabilities.As it is a relatively new assessment tool,the questions related to psychometric properties of the measure are still topical,especially in intercultural context.The reliability and convergent validity of START: AV ratings were examined in a sample of 159 male juveniles (Mage = 16.97,SD = 0.81) on probation.Information about the psychosocial functioning of the minors was collected during the interviews with probation officers and rated by the researchers according to the START: AV User Guide.The Subtypes of Antisocial Behaviour (STAB;Burt & Donnellan,2009),the Triarchic Psychopathy Measure (TriPM;Patrick,2010),and the Criminal Sentiments Scale-Modified (CSS-M;Shields & Simourd,1991) were used as convergent measures in this study.The results provided evidence for the reliability of the START: AV ratings and associations between behavioural variables,psychopathy constructs and START: AV are in favour of its concurrent validity.Pro-criminal attitudes were not associated with START: AV ratings,and further research is needed to test the manifestation of pro-criminal attitudes among juvenile offenders on probation.These findings support for further testing the START: AV on its predictive validity as well as utility in work with juvenile offenders.
