Abstract

An established body of research demonstrates that antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is associated with violent criminal offending and recidivism. However, questions remain regarding how ASPD is associated with different types of recidivism and the extent to which prison misconduct and visitation condition these relationships. This study evaluates these questions using longitudinal data from a large sample of released violent offenders (N = 45,063). Results from a series of accelerated failure time models reveal that ASPD is associated with faster time to reconviction for a new offense and technical violation. Prison visitation and misconduct condition the effect of ASPD for a technical violation whereby the relationship is strengthened at higher levels of visitation and misconduct. The effect of ASPD for reconviction for a new offense is positively moderated by prison misconduct but not visitation. The implications of the reported results for correctional policy and practice are discussed.

暴力犯罪在押人员的反社会人格障碍与再犯：监狱探视与不当行为的调节作用评估

已有的研究表明，反社会人格障碍（ASPD）与暴力犯罪和再犯有关。然而，关于反社会人格障碍是如何与不同类型的累犯联系在一起的，以及监狱中的不当行为和探视在多大程度上影响了这些关系，问题仍然存在。本研究利用大量已释放的暴力罪犯（N = 45,063）的纵向数据来评估这些问题。一系列加速失效时间模型的结果表明，ASPD与新犯罪和技术违规的再定罪时间有关。监狱探视和不当行为限制了反社会人格障碍对技术性违规行为的影响，探视和不当行为的级别越高，这种关系就越牢固。反社会人格障碍对新犯罪再定罪的影响会被监狱的不当行为所缓和，而不是探视。报告的结果对惩教政策和实践的影响进行了讨论。
