Hare PCL-R

The Hare PCL-R, or Psychopathy Checklist-Revised, is a psychological tool designed to assess the presence of psychopathic traits in individuals, particularly in criminal settings. Developed by Dr. Robert Hare, it consists of a 20-item questionnaire that evaluates behaviors and personality characteristics such as superficial charm, lack of remorse, and impulsivity. Each item is scored based on observations and interviews, helping professionals identify individuals who may be at higher risk for antisocial behavior. The PCL-R is widely used in forensic psychology to inform risk assessments, treatment planning, and legal decisions regarding offenders.
