Abstract

The psychological functioning and abuse history of 23 sexual, 51 violent, and 79 property adolescent offenders were compared. Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory scores of these three groups did not differ although sexual offenders were twice as likely to have a history of sexual abuse, making those personal experiences more relevant to the form of their criminal behavior.
