Recidivism of delinquency in juveniles with learning disabilities (LD), the focus of the present study, has been virtually unexplored in previous research. Data from a longitudinal study initiated in 1978 are examined. Sixty-five subjects with LD (47 males and 18 females) who had been diagnosed and assessed between the ages of 8 and 12 years were located and, during a personal structured interview at the median age of 18 years, reported police contact. This population was subdivided into two groups on the basis of whether police contact had continued or discontinued, as reported in a second personal interview at the age of 25 years. Discriminant analysis on parent and subject variables correctly classified 75% of the subjects and revealed that certain personality characteristics, such as impulsivity and poor judgment, discriminate between persisting and nonpersisting delinquency in youth with learning disabilities.
学习障碍（LD）青少年犯罪的再犯是本研究的重点，在以往研究中几乎未被探讨。本文研究了1978年启动的一项纵向研究的数据。找到了65名在8至12岁之间被诊断和评估为患有学习障碍的受试者（47名男性和18名女性），他们在18岁的中位年龄接受个人结构化访谈时报告了与警方的接触情况。根据25岁时第二次个人访谈中报告的警方接触是否持续，将该群体分为两组。对父母和受试者变量进行的判别分析正确分类了75%的受试者，并显示某些人格特征，如冲动和判断力差，在有学习障碍的青少年持续犯罪和非持续犯罪之间存在差异。
