Notes:	Presents the findings and methodology of an international study designed to assess the validity of a self-appraisal questionnaire (SAQ) for predicting violent and non-violent recidivism among adult criminal offenders. The range of instruments used to predict offender recidivism is discussed and the absence of any leading approach highlighted. The research project utilised samples from Britain, Canada, Australia, Singapore and the United States and the results suggest the SAQ has sound psychometric properties with reasonable reliability and concurrent validity across these groups. Some practical and clinical advantages of using the SAQ are outlined and its utility for future research is discussed.
