BACKGROUND
Alexithymia is a trait involving difficulties processing emotions. Existing data suggest it is associated with violent offending. In violent offender programmes, therefore, violent offenders are screened for alexithymia and it is attended to if necessary. No studies have, however, examined alexithymia levels in nonviolent offenders and it is, therefore, unknown whether it is also a criminogenic factor in this population.
AIMS
To investigate alexithymia levels among incarcerated nonviolent offenders and compare them with a community comparison group.
METHOD
The 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale was used to compare the alexithymia levels of 67 incarcerated nonviolent offenders with a group of 139 people from the general public living in the community.
RESULTS
Alexithymia levels did not differ between the groups.
CONCLUSION
It appears that alexithymia is not a criminogenic factor for nonviolent offenders and screening of such offenders appears unnecessary.
背景
述情障碍是一种涉及情绪处理困难的特征。现有数据表明，它与暴力犯罪有关。因此，在暴力罪犯项目中，会对暴力罪犯进行述情障碍筛查，如果有必要，会对其进行干预。然而，尚无研究检查非暴力罪犯的述情障碍水平，因此，尚不清楚述情障碍是否也是该人群中的犯罪因素。
目的
调查被监禁的非暴力罪犯的述情障碍水平，并将其与社区对照组进行比较。
方法
使用 20 项多伦多述情障碍量表比较了 67 名被监禁的非暴力罪犯与社区中 139 名普通人群的述情障碍水平。
结果
两组之间的述情障碍水平没有差异。
结论
似乎述情障碍不是非暴力罪犯的犯罪因素，对这类罪犯进行筛查似乎没有必要。
