The PCL-R had its origins in the late 1970s at a time when a variety of clinical and self-report methods were being used to define what ostensibly was psychopathy. This entry describes the development of the PCL-R, its psychometric properties, and its use in the criminal justice system.

Although it was designed for use in research, its explanatory and predictive features have led to its widespread use within the criminal justice system. Ltd.The Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (2nd edition, PCL-R) is a 20-item rating scale for the measurement of the clinical construct of psychopathy. Japanese - Available from Kaneko Shobo Co.

Hare psychopathy checklist trial#
The manual, published in 1991, stated that this meant only adult male forensic populations (e.g.,institutional or community correctional facilities, forensic psychiatric hospitals, and pre trial evaluation or detention facilities.) However, there now is enough empirical evidence to support its use with female and adolescent offenders, as well as with sex offenders. Limit their use of the PCL-R to those populations in which it has been fully validated.
