This report explores some associations among juvenile-delinquency, subsequent criminality, and subsequent psychiatric treatment. A sample of 255 males known to the juvenile court 25 years prior to the study is examined in terms of subsequent documented psychiatric treatment and/or criminal activity. Of the 255 former delinquents, 6% were known later to both criminal justice and psychiatric systems, 6% to psychiatric systems only, 28% to the criminal justice system only, and 60% to neither. Delinquents with later psychiatric histories were twice as likely to be known to the criminal justice system than were those without psychiatric histories. Those with adult psychiatric histories were also significantly younger at the time of their first delinquent offense and committed more juvenile offenses than the nonpsychiatric group. Only 2 of the 16 individuals later known to both systems were diagnosed sociopathic. The findings are discussed.
本报告探讨了青少年犯罪、后续犯罪行为以及后续精神科治疗之间的一些关联。对研究前25年已知被少年法庭处理过的255名男性样本，根据后续有记录的精神科治疗和/或犯罪活动进行了调查。在这255名曾经的少年犯中，6%后来同时进入了刑事司法系统和精神科系统，6%仅进入精神科系统，28%仅进入刑事司法系统，60%两者都未进入。有后续精神病史的少年犯被刑事司法系统知晓的可能性是没有精神病史者的两倍。有成人精神病史的人在首次犯罪时年龄也显著更小，且比无精神病史组犯下更多的青少年罪行。后来同时进入两个系统的16人中只有2人被诊断为反社会人格。对研究结果进行了讨论。
