The growth of the prison population and the high recidivism rates of inmates represent a major public safety problem.
This systematic review explored executive functions in inmates convicted of violent behavior compared with inmates convicted of non-violent behavior and healthy controls (HCs).
Systematic searches were carried out using five databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCO, and Embase) until March 6th, 2023. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, two reviewers independently performed the screening, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment of the 8 studies included. The protocol of this study was registered in Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO), under registration number CRD42021252043.
Consistently, inmates convicted of violent behavior exhibited a greater alteration in inhibition than inmates convicted of non-violent behavior (four out of four studies) and HCs (two out of two studies). In addition, inmates convicted of violent behavior showed greater impairments in cognitive flexibility (two out of three studies) and working memory (two out of three studies) than HCs. Although with limited evidence (only one study), they also showed worse performance in set shifting and planning than HCs.
This study provides evidence of alterations in inhibition in inmates convicted of violent behavior compared to inmates convicted of non-violent behavior and HCs. Even though inmates convicted of violent behavior showed greater impairments in planning and set shifting than HCs, these findings were supported in only one study. In general, more robust evidence is needed to confirm alterations in inmates convicted due to violent behavior. These findings highlight the importance of designing and promoting specific cognitive interventions that contribute to the reintegration of inmates into society.

监狱人口的增长以及囚犯的高再犯率是一个重大的公共安全问题。
本系统评价探讨了暴力行为罪犯与非暴力行为罪犯及健康对照者(HCs)相比的执行功能。
使用五个数据库(PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science、EBSCO和Embase)进行系统检索,直至2023年3月6日。按照系统评价和Meta分析的首选报告项目(PRISMA)指南,两名评价者独立对纳入的8项研究进行筛选、数据提取和偏倚风险评估。本研究方案已在系统评价前瞻性注册库(PROSPERO)注册,注册号为CRD42021252043。
与非暴力行为罪犯(四项研究中的四项)和健康对照者(两项研究中的两项)相比,暴力行为罪犯在抑制方面始终表现出更大的改变。此外,暴力行为罪犯在认知灵活性(三项研究中的两项)和工作记忆(三项研究中的两项)方面比健康对照者表现出更大的损伤。尽管证据有限(仅有一项研究),但他们在任务转换和计划方面的表现也比健康对照者差。
本研究提供了证据,表明暴力行为罪犯与非暴力行为罪犯及健康对照者相比,在抑制方面存在改变。尽管暴力行为罪犯在计划和任务转换方面比健康对照者表现出更大的损伤,但这些发现仅在一项研究中得到支持。总体而言,需要更有力的证据来证实暴力行为罪犯的改变。这些发现凸显了设计和推广有助于囚犯重新融入社会的特定认知干预措施的重要性。
