Title
Investigating
Criminality
: The
Relationship
between
Criminal
Thinking
and
Psychopathy
Publisher
Central Connecticut State University
Date
2008
Resource Type
Master's Thesis
Notes
Methods
of
understanding
criminality
include
assessment
instruments
that
probe
the
thinking
and
psychological
disorders
of
offenders
.
Topics
of these
instruments
include
criminal
thinking
patterns
and
psychopathy
.
While
research
has been
conducted
on
criminal
thinking
and
psychopathy
,
little
has been
conducted
that
investigates
the
relationship
between
the
two
. The
present
study
examined
criminal
thinking
patterns
and
psychopathy
in a
sample
of
adult
probationers
.
Probationers
were
administered
the
Criminogenic
Thinking
Profile
(CTP
;
Mitchell
&
Tafrate
,
2008)
and the
Levenson
Self
Report
Psychopathy
Scale
(LSRP
;
Levenson
,
1995)
in the
waiting
room
of a
probation
office
.
All
of the
CTP
subscales
were
positively
correlated
with
psychopathy
,
except
for the
Grandiosity
subscale
. A
group
of
probationers
who
scored
high
on the
LSRP
were
compared
with a
group
of
probationers
who
scored
low
on the
LSRP
.
Statistically
significant
differences
were
found
between
the
two
groups
, with
more
criminal
thinking
evident
in the
high
LSRP
group
. The
results
suggest
that
criminal
thinking
is
related
to
psychopathy
in
probationers
.
Future
research
with
incarcerated
offenders
and
non
offenders
should be
conducted
to
more
fully
explore
the
relationship
between
these
variables
.
