Abstract

The Psychopathy Checklist—Revised (PCL-R) is a widely used measurement of psychopathy comprising interpersonal, affective, lifestyle, and antisocial facets representing narrow-band characteristics associated with the construct. However, there is little research on whether the distinct facets of psychopathy show specialised relationships with different types of criminal offences. The PCL-R was administered to 138 adults incarcerated at a county jail. Arrests were coded into broad categories (i.e., crimes against persons, property or society), as well as for specific offence types (e.g. burglary, assault) using US crime definitions. Zero-order correlations and zero-inflated regression models showed significant relationships between: the lifestyle facet and property and societal crimes, mainly drug offences; the affective facet and crimes against persons; and the antisocial facet with all three major crime categories, as well as burglary, motor vehicle theft, robbery and assault. Overall, these results indicate that the PCL-R facets offer unique information about specific forms of criminal behaviour.

心理变态各方面与刑事犯罪类型之间的关系
心理病态检查表-修订版(PCL-R)是一种广泛使用的心理病态测量方法,包括人际关系、情感、生活方式和反社会等方面,代表了与心理病态相关的狭义特征。然而,关于心理变态的不同侧面是否与不同类型的刑事犯罪之间存在特殊关系的研究却很少。我们对 138 名被关押在县监狱的成年人进行了 PCL-R 测验。根据美国的犯罪定义,被捕人员被分为几大类(即针对个人、财产或社会的犯罪)以及特定的犯罪类型(如入室盗窃、袭击)。零阶相关性和零膨胀回归模型显示:生活方式面与财产和社会犯罪(主要是毒品犯罪)之间存在显著关系;情感面与针对个人的犯罪之间存在显著关系;反社会面与所有三个主要犯罪类别以及入室盗窃、机动车盗窃、抢劫和袭击之间存在显著关系。总之,这些结果表明,PCL-R 面项提供了有关特定形式犯罪行为的独特信息。

Investigative Psychology is rapidly developing worldwide. It is a newly established, interdisciplinary area of research and application, concerned with the systematic, scientific examination of all those aspects of psychology and the related behavioural and social sciences that may be relevant to criminal.
