The problem of adolescents who commit homicides is of increasing concern in its own right, as well as from the possibility of their facing execution. In this study, a psychiatric and psychological assessment was aimed at screening out a group of juveniles who were being considered for certification to adult court in terms of depressive symptomatology. Within a group of 213, 30 males and 14 females were assessed as depressed by clinical history, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventories (MMPI) and the Beck Depressive Inventory (BDI). Empirical and psychosocial data attempted to differentiate significant developmental components related to the homicides, as well as differences between the 30 males and 14 females. Although the problem of predicting such behavior from descriptive characteristics remains elusive, certain patterns were present among diverse homicidal behaviors. In conclusion, some psychodynamic hypotheses are offered.
青少年杀人问题本身就日益受到关注，同时也因为他们面临被处决的可能性而备受关注。在本研究中，进行了一项精神病学和心理学评估，旨在从抑郁症状学方面筛选出一组正被考虑移交成人法庭认证的青少年。在213名青少年中，根据临床病史、明尼苏达多相人格量表（MMPI）和贝克抑郁量表（BDI），有30名男性和14名女性被评估为患有抑郁症。实证和社会心理数据试图区分与杀人行为相关的重要发展因素，以及30名男性和14名女性之间的差异。尽管从描述性特征预测此类行为的问题仍然难以捉摸，但在各种杀人行为中存在某些模式。总之，提出了一些心理动力学假设。
