It may be used with individuals from the general population and with forensic or psychiatric populations. Containing 12 of the 20 items from the full PCL-R, the descriptions of these items have been simplified and some have been broadened to make them more suitable for use outside forensic settings. An abbreviated version of the Hare PCL-R and highly correlated with the PCL-R, the PCL:SV takes about half as long to administer and is an effective screen for psychopathic personality disorders.
