SVR-20 Professional guidelines for assessing risk of sexual violence
Testmaterial

The SVR-20 is a 20-item checklist of risk factors for sexual violence that were identified by a review of the literature on sex offenders. The checklist was developed to improve the accuracy of assessments for the risk of future sexual violence. The goals of the SVR-20 guidelines include the following:
- Make risk assessments more systematic
- Increase agreement among evaluators
- Provide detailed guidelines grounded in the scientific literature
- Assist in the planning and delivery of interventions (treatment and supervision)
- Objectively evaluate the adequacy of risk assessments.
The SVR-20 specifies which risk factors should be assessed and how the risk assessment should be conducted. The list of risk factors is: (a) empirically related to future sexual violence; (b) useful in making decisions about the management of sex offenders; (c) nondiscriminatory; and (d) reasonably comprehensive without being redundant. The 20 factors essential in a comprehensive sexual violence risk assessment fall into three main categories: Psychosocial Adjustment, History of Sexual Offenses, and Future Plans. The actual risk for sexual violence depends on the combination (not just the number) of risk factors present in a specific case. Coding of the SVR-20 involves determining the presence/absence of each factor and whether there has been any recent change in the status of the factor. This item-level information is integrated into a summary judgment of the level of risk (Low, Moderate, or High), which can easily be translated into an action plan.
