Carried out a factor analytic study of the demographic and behavioral characteristics of adult and juvenile male and female incarcerates (N = 559) to determine whether there were meaningful commonalities that exist for all persons involved in offenses. The obtained clusters suggest a number of consistent relationships contributory to incarceration and childhood experiences that predict difficulty in that period of life and in later adjustment.
