目的：犯罪思维已被确定为累犯的一个风险因素，最近又被确定为治疗的一个反应性因素，已发表的关于犯罪思维和项目损耗之间关系的研究仅限于监禁样本。本研究在两个社区样本中考察了犯罪思维与程序损耗之间的关系。方法：研究1采用日间报告中心（DRC）样本，研究2采用清醒屋（SH）样本。犯罪思维通过犯罪思维量表（CTP）进行评估，这是一份65项的李克特式问卷，产生总分和8个独特的思维模式得分。结果：在两个样本中，损耗与更高水平的犯罪思维有关；然而，DRC和SH未完成者出现了不同的认知概况。与DRC的流失最相关的特定犯罪思维模式反映了对他人缺乏关注/同情，而与SH的流失最相关的模式表明了冒险和寻求刺激的欲望。结论：这些发现与不断积累的关于改变动机和治疗参与的研究一致，这些研究将犯罪思维视为干扰对法医治疗方案反应的一个因素。(C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
Purpose: Criminal thinking has been identified as a risk factor for recidivism and more recently as a responsivity factor for treatment Published research on the relationship between criminal thinking and program attrition has been limited to incarcerated samples. The present study examined the relationship between criminal thinking and program attrition in two community-based samples.Method: Study 1 utilized a day reporting center (DRC) sample, while Study 2 utilized a sober house (SH) sample. Criminal thinking was assessed with the Criminogenic Thinking Profile (CTP), a 65-item Likert-type questionnaire that yields a total score and 8 unique thinking pattern scores.Results: In both samples, attrition was associated with higher levels of criminal thinking; however, different cognitive profiles emerged for DRC and SH non-completers. The specific criminal thinking pattern most associated with attrition from the DRC reflected a lack of regard/empathy for others, while the pattern most associated with attrition from the SH indicated a desire for risk taking and thrill seeking.Conclusion: The findings are consistent with an accumulating body of research on motivation to change and treatment engagement that identifies criminal thinking as a factor that interferes with responsivity to forensic treatment programs.
