Idioma: Inglês.Publicação: [S.l.] : SAGE, 2019Descrição física: 2383-2405 p.; 30 cm em PDFColeção: International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology; 63 (14)Assunto: 705 | 689 | 5166 | 741 | 6224 | 5288 | 3498 | 5647 | 279 | 4988Localização e Cota : 159.9PEC Resumo: The present study examines the utility of three self-report measures of psychopathictraits in predicting recidivism among a sample of incarcerated male juvenile offenders.Participants (N = 214, M = 16.40 years, SD = 1.29 years) from seven Portuguesejuvenile detention centers were followed and prospectively classified as recidivistsversus non-recidivists. Area under the curve (AUC) analysis revealed that theAntisocial Process Screening Device–Self-Report (APSD-SR) presented the bestperformance in terms of predicting general recidivism, with the Youth PsychopathicTraits Inventory (YPI) and the Childhood and Adolescent Taxon Scale–Self-Report(CATS-SR) presenting much poorer results. However, logistic regression modelscontrolling for past frequency of crimes and age of first incarceration found that noneof these self-report measures significantly predicted 1- or 3-year recidivism, whethergeneral or violent. Findings suggest there are limitations in terms of the incrementalutility of self-report measures of psychopathic traits in predicting recidivism amongjuveniles.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
