Abstract:
|
The GMU Criminogenic Cognitions Scale (GMU-CCS) is a 25 item measure designed to tap 5 dimensions: (a) Externalization of Blame (“Bad childhood experiences are partly to blame for my current situation”); (b) Notions of entitlement (“When I want something, I expect people to deliver”); (c) Devaluing Authority (“People in positions of authority generally take advantage of others”); (d) Immediate Gratification (“The future is unpredictable and there is no point planning for it”); and (d) Insensitivity to impact of crime (“A theft is all right as long as the victim is not physically injured”). Results from a study of over 400 general population jail inmates support the reliability, validity, and predictive utility of the measure. GMU-CCS was strongly linked to concurrent self-report measures of aggression, antisocial personality, risk for future violence, and impaired empathy, and to clinicians’ ratings of psychopathy (PCL:SV). In addition, criminogenic thinking assessed at the outset of incarceration predicted subsequent official reports of inmate misconduct during incarceration, as well as criminal recidivism during the first year post-release (arrests and self-reported undetected felonies). In fact, using a test of the difference between dependent correlations, this simple 25-item self-report scale predicted re-offense as well as the PCL:SV. |
