[Interrater reliability of the criteria-based assessment of criminal responsibility in paraphilic disorders].

CONCLUSION: The interrater reliability (IRR) with reference to the criteria of Briken and Müller was higher than the previously established criteria of Boetticher et al. The evaluation of the subjective importance of the criteria of both assessment scales showed that all criteria were rated as at least of average importance. It could thus be useful to initially include both sets of criteria for a greater transparency in the assessment process and to investigate this procedure in further studies.
