The authors rated 404 incarcerated female participants in a substance abuse treatment efficacy study using either the Hare Psychopathy Checklist–Revised (PCL-R) or the Psychopathy Checklist: ScreeningVersion (PCL:SV). Participants were then randomly assigned among three treatment conditions. Psychopathy scores were significantly associated with poor treatment response with regard to program retention, removal for serious noncompliance, violent and disruptive rule violations, avoidance of urinalysis testing, treatment module attendance, and therapist ratings. Cox regression analyses indicated that psychopathy scores (particularly Factor 1 scores) better predicted new charges in the community than a combination of other variables. The authors concluded that Hare psychopathy scores can be used validly for assessment for placement, risk assessment, and individual treatment planning for female offenders.
