Could someone recommend instrument(s) to measure empathy among sex offenders (both adolescent and adult)?  More specifically, I'm involved in a project that is still in the formative stages...but it's essentially a program evaluation that aims to measure possible increases in offender empathy as an outcome of treatment. 

Thanks!

Dear Colleague,

We are in the course of producing:

The Register of Child Protection Research in the UK (1990-2002)

This register will be a comprehensive record of research carried out in the
UK since 1990 on child protection and child protection-related matters. It
will be an authoritative reference work, not only for the academic
community, but also for policy makers and practitioners. The Register will
be updated on a 1-2 yearly basis.

If you have been involved in child protection or child protection-related
research, and would like to submit outline details of this work for
inclusion in the Register, please click on or visit the link below. This
link will provide instructions relating to questionnaire completion and the
opportunity to either complete a questionnaire online or download a copy of
the questionnaire. This link will also provide you with the opportunity to
express an interest in being notified when the Register is published.

http://www.hud.ac.uk/hhs/research/acs/staff/bg/ukrcpr_introduction.htm


Alternatively, if you would like a copy of the questionnaire and covering
letter to be emailed or posted to you please contact b.gallagher@xxxxxxxxx


We would like to express our sincerest thanks for your attention.

Yours

Bernard Gallagher (Senior Research Fellow) and Claire Fraser (Research
Fellow)
