We evaluated the reliability and validity of judgments concerning risk for violence made rising the Spousal Assault Risk Assessment Guide (SARA; Kropp, Hart, Webster, dr Eaves, 1994, 1995, 1998). We analyzed SARA ratings in six samples of adult male offenders (total N = 2681). The distribution of ratings indicated that offenders were quite heterogeneous with respect to the presence of individual risk factors and to overall perceived risk. Structural analyses of the risk factors indicated moderate levels of internal consistency and item homogeneity. Interrater reliability was high for judgments concerning the presence of individual risk factors and for overall perceived risk. SARA ratings significantly discriminated between offenders with and without a history of spousal violence in one sample, and between recidivistic and nonrecidivistic spousal assaulters in another Finally, SARA ratings showed good convergent and discriminant validity with respect to other measures related to risk for general and violent criminality.
