Area of Science:

  • Forensic Psychology
  • Criminology
  • Correctional Treatment

Background:

  • Forensic risk and needs assessments are crucial for incarcerated sex offenders' treatment planning.
  • Rapport-based interviews improve offender cooperation, disclosure, and confession.
  • The impact of rapport on pre-treatment readiness remains under-examined.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how perceived rapport and personal factors influence incarcerated sex offenders' treatment readiness post-assessment.
  • To test the hypothesis that interviewer rapport and offender characteristics moderate changes in treatment readiness.

Main Methods:

  • 80 incarcerated male sex offenders and 33 correctional professionals participated.
  • Treatment readiness and rapport were assessed using pre- and post-interview questionnaires.
  • Interviewer and offender data were sourced from prison records.

Main Results:

  • Rapport features (expertise, trust, connection, similarity, attentiveness) significantly moderated changes in treatment readiness.
  • Sex offender risk level (moderate and high) also moderated treatment readiness changes.
  • Positive rapport correlated with increased treatment readiness.

Conclusions:

  • Rapport during forensic interviews positively impacts treatment readiness for moderate to high-risk sex offenders.
  • Implementing rapport-based interviewing in assessments can increase offender engagement in treatment.
  • Training correctional staff in these techniques is recommended for improved treatment outcomes.
