“…Intraclass correlation coefficients range from .82 to .98 (Andershed et al, 2007;Cauffman et al, 2009;Das et al, 2009;Forth et al, 2003). PCL:YV scores are also correlated with externalizing psychopathology, violence, antisocial behaviour, and recidivism (Kosson et al, 2002;Kubak & Salekin, 2009;Murrie et al, 2004;Salekin, 2008;Salekin et al, 2004;Schmidt et al, 2006;Vitacco et al, 2006;2010).…”

Remorse has long been important to the juvenile justice system. However, the nature of this construct has not yet been clearly articulated, and little research has examined its relationships with other theoretically and legally relevant variables. The present study was intended to address these issues by examining relationships among remorse, psychopathology, and psychopathy in a sample of adolescent offenders (N = 97) using the theoretically and empirically established framework of guilt and shame (Tangney & Dearing, 2002). Findings indicated that shame was positively related to behavioural features of psychopathy, whereas guilt was negatively related to psychopathic characteristics more broadly. In addition, shame was positively associated with numerous mental health problems whereas guilt was negatively associated with anger, depression, and anxiety. These results provide empirical support for theory that psychopathy is characterized by lack of remorse (e.g., Hare, 1991), and also underscore shame and guilt as potentially important treatment targets for adolescent offenders.

“…Furthermore, modest associations of around .30 were found between psychopathic traits and total number of incidents in young adults imprisoned for crimes committed as juveniles (Edens, Poythress, & Lilienfeld, 1999), in male juvenile offenders in a residential training facility (Brandt, Kennedy, Patrick, & Curtin, 1997), in a judicial assessment facility (Hicks, Rogers, & Cashel, 2000), and in a residential treatment program for dually diagnosed offenders (Rogers, Johansen, Chang, & Salekin, 1997). During the last few years, research into adolescent psychopathy in relation to recidivism is increasing (e.g., Edens, Campbell, & Weir, 2007;Schmidt, McKinnon, Chattha, & Brownlee, 2006). A meta-analysis across 21 adolescent samples has shown a significant association between psychopathy and general, as well as violent, recidivism in adolescents (mean weighted effect sizes of .24 and .25, respectively).…”

The present prospective study examined the predictive validity of the Dutch version of the Psychopathy Check List: Youth Version for disruptive behavior in male adolescents during treatment. The study comprised two samples admitted to different secure treatment institutions in The Netherlands, Jongerenhuis Harreveld (n = 81) and Rentray (n = 66). Overall, the results demonstrate that psychopathy is a significant predictor of institutional disruptive behavior, and physical violence in particular. Furthermore, Hare's traditional Factor 2 was more strongly related to disruptive incidents than Factor 1. By using the recently proposed three- and four-factor models of psychopathy, insight into the pattern of associations between psychopathy dimensions and different types of disruptive behavior was obtained. The antisocial dimension of psychopathy appeared to be more strongly related to severe incidents than the lifestyle dimension. Regression analyses identified significant contributions of the antisocial and lifestyle dimensions to the prediction of incidents. The relatively small degree of variance explained underlines the importance of other risk factors to identify adolescents at risk of disruptive behavior during institutional treatment.

“…19 In a meta-analysis of 21 studies, 15 of them focusing exclusively on males, the PCL-YV or the PCL-Revised 19 for adults predicted general and violent recidivism, more strongly among men than women. 20 Other studies of adolescents have shown that the PCL-YV predicted violent and nonviolent criminal convictions among males and weakly or not at all among females, 21,22 and violent behaviour. 23,24 We found only one study 23 examining PCL-YV predictions after controlling for CD and it showed that the PCL-YV continued to predict future violent offending among adolescent males.…”

Objective: To determine whether psychopathic traits assessed in mid-adolescence predicted mental health, psychosocial, and antisocial (including criminal) outcomes 5 years later and would thereby provide advantages over diagnosing conduct disorder (CD).Method: Eighty-six women and 61 men were assessed in mid-adolescence when they first contacted a clinic for substance misuse and were reassessed 5 years later. Assessments in adolescence include the Psychopathy Checklist-Youth Version (PCL-YV), and depending on their age, either the Kiddie-Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Aged Children or the Structured Clinical Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (SCID). Assessments in early adulthood included the SCID, self-reports of psychosocial functioning, aggressive behaviour, and criminality and official criminal records. Results:The antisocial facet score positively predicted the number of anxiety symptoms and likelihood of receiving treatment for substance use disorders (SUDs). Lifestyle and antisocial facet scores negatively predicted Global Assessment of Functioning scores. By contrast, the interpersonal score and male sex independently and positively predicted the number of months worked or studied, as did the interaction of Lifestyle × Sex indicating that among men, but not women, an increase in lifestyle facet score was associated with less time worked or studied. Interpersonal and antisocial scores positively predicted school drop-out. Antisocial facet scores predicted the number of symptoms of antisocial personality disorder, alcohol and SUDs, and violent and nonviolent criminality but much more strongly among males than females. Predictions from numbers of CD symptoms were similar. Conclusions:Psychopathic traits among adolescents who misuse substances predict an array of outcomes over the subsequent 5 years. Information on the levels of these traits may be useful for planning treatment.
