ABSTRACT

According to the literature, offenders with psychopathic traits can be distinguished from other offenders based on behavioural patterns or deficits in the processing of emotional stimuli. One of the aims of this study was to explore the link between psychopathic traits and different subtypes of juveniles who have committed sexual offenses, which very few studies have attempted to do. Participants were 270 juvenile offenders convicted for sexual offenses (n = 141) and non-sexual offenses (n = 129) who were tested with the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL: YV). The results indicate that juveniles who have committed general offenses (JGO) tend to have a higher prevalence of psychopathic traits when compared to juveniles who have committed sexual offenses (JCSO). Regarding the differentiation between child sex offenders and peer/adult sex offenders, no significant differences were found. Potential implications concerning psychopathic traits assessment in clinical and forensic contexts are discussed.

使用精神病来识别犯有性罪行的少年变体之间的差异

抽象的

根据文献,可以基于行为模式或在处理情感刺激方面的缺陷,将具有精神病性特征的罪犯与其他罪犯区分开。这项研究的目的之一是探索精神病性状与犯有性罪行的少年的不同亚型之间的联系,很少有研究试图做到这一点。参加调查的有270名未成年人,他们因性犯罪(n  = 141)和非性犯罪(n = 129)接受了《心理疾病检查表:青年版》(PCL:YV)的测试。结果表明,与实施性犯罪的少年相比,实施普通犯罪的少年的精神病性特征患病率更高。关于儿童性罪犯与同伴/成人性罪犯之间的区别,未发现显着差异。讨论了在临床和法医背景下有关精神病性状评估的潜在含义。
