本研究考察了141名精神病量表青少年版高分（M总分> 27）的少年犯的治疗反应。两组潜在的精神病罪犯进行了比较：一个是参加门多塔少年治疗中心（MJTC），一个强化治疗计划（MJTC，n = 56），另一个是接受“治疗照常”在传统的少年惩教机构（JCI）设置（JCI，n = 85）。在两年的随访期间，JCI组的罪犯在社区中暴力复发的可能性是参加MJTC治疗的罪犯的两倍多。即使在控制了非随机分配到治疗组和释放状态的影响后，治疗与相对较慢和较低的严重再犯率相关。进一步的研究，治疗发展和少年司法问题的影响进行了讨论。
This study examines the treatment response of 141 juvenile offenders with high scores on the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (M total > 27). Two groups of potentially psychopathic offenders are compared: one that participates in the Mendota Juvenile Treatment Center (MJTC), an intensive treatment program (MJTC, n = 56), and another that receives "treatment as usual" in conventional juvenile correctional institution (JCI) settings (JCI, n = 85). Offenders in the JCI group are more than twice as likely to violently recidivate in the community during a 2-year follow-up than those who participate in MJTC treatment. Treatment is associated with relatively slower and lower rates of serious recidivism, even after controlling for the effects of nonrandom assignment to treatment groups and release status. Implications for further research, treatment development, and juvenile justice issues are discussed.
