Abstract

The present study investigated the use of the HCR-20^V3 (Douglas, Hart, Webster, & Belfrage, Citation2013) among a sample of 84 male inmates in a pre-trial correctional facility. Overall, results indicated that the newly revised instrument can be adapted for use in a pre-trial context, although some scoring obstacles (e.g., participants’ uncertain legal status) were encountered when attempting to rate certain HCR-20^V3 items. Also, some group differences in risk ratings were found when comparing our sample to HCR-20^V3 data collected from external psychiatric inpatient and post-adjudication samples. Implications for clinical forensic practice are reviewed, focusing on modifications that may be helpful or necessary for use in pre-trial settings.
