Alexithymia is a trait involving difficulties processing emotions. Existing data suggest it is associated with violent offending. In violent offender programmes, therefore, violent offenders are screened for alexithymia and it is attended to if necessary. No studies have, however, examined alexithymia levels in nonviolent offenders and it is, therefore, unknown whether it is also a criminogenic factor in this population.

非暴力罪犯的Alexethymia

Alexithymia是一种特质，涉及处理情感的困难。现有数据表明它与暴力犯罪有关。因此，在暴力罪犯计划中，对暴力罪犯进行筛检，以消除智力障碍，并在必要时进行检查。但是，没有研究检查非暴力罪犯的读写障碍水平，因此，它是否也是该人群中的致病因素尚不清楚。
