The document titled "Classification Test for the Risk of Violence of the Sexual Offender (PVAS)" is a graduate thesis from the Faculty of Psychology at the Catholic University of Colombia. The study aims to develop a classification tool to identify the risk of violence in sexual offenders. The PVAS consists of a 30-item checklist designed to categorize the level of risk by identifying characteristics of behavior, personality, cognition, and motivation that contribute to violent behavior. The tool is intended to support justice administration processes and penitentiary contexts. The research is grounded in criminal psychology, focusing on the psychological determinants of antisocial and delinquent behavior. The thesis includes a theoretical framework, a discussion of violence, risk assessment, sexual offenses, and the characteristics of sexual offenders. It also addresses the psychological, cognitive, and motivational aspects that influence violent behavior. The study contributes to the development of a standardized tool for identifying and managing the risk of violence in sexual offenders, enhancing the effectiveness of justice and penitentiary systems.The document titled "Classification Test for the Risk of Violence of the Sexual Offender (PVAS)" is a graduate thesis from the Faculty of Psychology at the Catholic University of Colombia.
