The study used the Neurological Evaluation Scale to assess neurological soft signs in 351 offenders and 80 healthy comparison subjects. Offenders were also interviewed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV and the Hare Psychopathy Checklist. Neurological signs were significantly increased in offenders compared with healthy subjects. Offenders with repeated misdemeanors had higher rates of neurological signs than those with a single felony. Neurological scores were significantly predicted by lifetime diagnoses of psychotic, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Each diagnostic category was associated with a distinct pattern of neurological abnormalities.
该研究使用神经学评估量表对351名罪犯和80名健康对照者进行神经软体征评估。还使用《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版的结构化临床访谈和哈雷精神病态检查表对罪犯进行访谈。与健康受试者相比，罪犯的神经体征明显增加。有多次轻罪的罪犯比有单次重罪的罪犯有更高的神经体征发生率。神经学评分由精神病、焦虑和物质使用障碍的终生诊断显著预测。每个诊断类别都与一种独特的神经异常模式相关。
