The PCL-R checklist. Measure of evil
Description
It's a scenario from science fiction: police, predicting the future, arrest citizens before they commit crimes. But the scenario has real-world parallels in psychology. This film examines the PCL-R, or Psychopathy Checklist-Revised, a classification tool used to profile criminals and predict whether or not they will re-offend. In addition to forensic applications, the film shows how the checklist has been modified for use in the corporate world. Interview subjects include Dr. Robert Hare, the University of British Columbia psychology professor who developed the PCL-R, as well as organizational psychologist Dr. Paul Babiak and Simon Fraser University psychology professor Dr. Stephen D. Hart.
