Antisocial attitudes are among the strongest predictors of reoffending; however, there is little evidence to show that treatment-induced changes in antisocial attitudes correspond to changes in individuals’ risk of recidivism. This study examined relationships between within-treatment change in antisocial attitudes derived from the Measures of Criminal Attitudes and Associates (MCAA) and reoffending among a large sample of males convicted of violent offenses (N = 2,337). Residual change scores (RCS) and categories of clinically significant change (CSC) were used as indices of within-treatment change. A number of MCAA factor scores significantly predicted general and violent reoffending when assessed before and after treatment. RCS calculations of within-treatment change on the Violence and Antisocial Intent factors were also significantly associated with general reoffending outcomes. There was no evidence that within-treatment change on any measure had predictive validity for violent reoffending.

反社会态度是再次犯罪的最强预测因素之一。然而，几乎没有证据表明治疗引起的反社会态度的变化与个人再犯风险的变化相对应。本研究调查了从犯罪态度和关联措施 (MCAA) 得出的反社会态度的治疗内变化与被判定犯有暴力罪行的大量男性样本中的再犯罪之间的关系 ( N= 2,337）。残留变化评分（RCS）和临床显着变化（CSC）的类别被用作治疗内变化的指标。在治疗前后进行评估时，许多 MCAA 因素评分显着预测了一般和暴力再犯罪。暴力和反社会意图因素的治疗内变化的 RCS 计算也与一般再犯罪结果显着相关。没有证据表明任何措施的治疗内变化对暴力再犯具有预测效度。
