Abstract

The STABLE-2007 is a 13-item instrument used to identify, treat, and monitor changes in criminogenic needs associated with sexual reoffending, but no empirical research to date has examined the construct validity of this instrument within California. The present study assessed the factor structure and measurement invariance of STABLE-2007 scores in a Californian sample of 873 parolees enrolled in a community sex offense treatment program. Archival scores for the STABLE-2007 were compared across four time points over the course of supervision. Consistent with the broader literature on sexual offending risk, we found preliminary support for an invariant two-factor structure consisting of antisociality and atypical sexuality. In addition to providing support for the STABLE-2007's construct validity and reliability, our identification of two clear constructs reflecting antisociality and atypical sexuality lays a foundation for establishing the instrument's validity and reliability within the context of United States community correctional populations.

加州性犯罪假释成年男子STABLE-2007得分的维度结构和测量不变性评估。

STABLE-2007是一个包含13个项目的工具，用于识别、治疗和监测与性再犯相关的犯罪需求的变化，但迄今为止还没有实证研究在加州检验该工具的结构有效性。本研究评估了873名加州社区性犯罪治疗项目的假释犯STABLE-2007得分的因素结构和测量不变性。在监督过程中，通过四个时间点比较了STABLE-2007的档案分数。与更广泛的关于性犯罪风险的文献一致，我们发现了一个不变的双因素结构的初步支持，包括反社会性和非典型性行为。除了为STABLE-2007的构念效度和信度提供支持外，我们对反映反社会性和非典型性行为的两个清晰构念的识别为在美国社区矫正人群的背景下建立该工具的效度和信度奠定了基础。
