The Self-Appraisal Questionnaire (SAQ) is a self-report that predicts the risk of violence and recidivism and provides relevant information about treatment needs for incarcerated populations. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the concurrent and predictive validity of this self-report in Spanish offenders. The SAQ was administered to 276 offenders recruited from several prisons in Madrid (Spain). SAQ total scores presented high levels of internal consistency (alpha=.92). Correlations of the instrument with violence risk instruments were statistically significant and showed a moderate magnitude, indicating a reasonable degree of concurrent validity. The ROC analysis carried out on the SAQ total score revealed an AUC of .80, showing acceptable accuracy discriminating between violent and nonviolent recidivist groups. It is concluded that the SAQ total score is a reliable and valid measure to estimate violence and recidivism risk in Spanish offenders.

通过自我评估问卷预测暴力风险

自我评估问卷（SAQ）是一种自我报告，可预测遭受暴力和再犯的风险，并提供有关被囚禁者的治疗需求的相关信息。本研究的目的是评估西班牙罪犯自我报告的同时性和预测性。对从马德里（西班牙）数所监狱招募的276名罪犯实施了SAQ。SAQ总分显示出较高的内部一致性（alpha = .92）。该工具与暴力风险工具的相关性在统计上显着，并且显示出中等程度，表明合理程度的并行有效性。对SAQ总分进行的ROC分析显示，AUC为.80，表明可以区分暴力和非暴力累犯组。
