Data are presented on the prevalence of learning disabilities among populations of delinquents. Current hypotheses proposed to explain the relatively high prevalence rate are examined in the context of the research literature pertaining to the psychosocial characteristics of youngsters with learning disabilities and the research literature pertaining to delinquency. A multifactorial explanation is offered, according to which the probability of a youngster with a learning disability becoming delinquent is seen as a consequence of the interaction between specific elements of learning disabilities and specific psychosocial correlates of delinquency.
文中呈现了有关少年犯罪人群中学习障碍患病率的数据。在与有学习障碍青少年的心理社会特征相关的研究文献以及与犯罪相关的研究文献的背景下，对当前为解释相对较高的患病率而提出的假设进行了审视。文中提供了一种多因素解释，据此，有学习障碍的青少年犯罪的可能性被视为学习障碍的特定因素与犯罪的特定心理社会相关因素之间相互作用的结果。
