TY - JOUR PY - 1989// TI - A factor analysis of the MMPI in an offender population JO - Criminal justice and behavior A1 - Carmin, Cheryl N. A1 - Wallbrown, Fred H. A1 - Ownby, Raymond L.

Since the research by Megargee and Bohn (1979), the MMPI has received considerable attention in the determination of criminal offender personality typology. Less attention, however, has been given to the factor structure of the instrument with an offender population. This study of the MMPI's factor structure, using adjudicated male felons, found five interpretable factors further supporting the utility of this instrument with an offender population.
