TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - Crime profiles and conditional release performance of psychopathic and non‐psychopathic sexual offenders JO - Legal and criminological psychology A1 - Porter, Stephen A1 - Brinke, Leanne A1 - Wilson, Kevin SP - 109 EP - 118 VL - 14 IS - 1 N2 - Purpose. This study investigated the influence of psychopathy and sex offender subtype on criminal history, probability of being granted conditional release, and performance while on conditional release in a diverse group of violent offenders. We predicted that psychopathic sexual offenders would be associated with relatively prolific violent and sexual offending, a high probability of successful conditional release applications despite their past behaviour (resulting from ‘putting on a good show’ in a parole hearing), and poor performance in the community.
