The present study examines the utility of three self-report measures of psychopathic
traits in predicting recidivism among a sample of incarcerated male juvenile offenders. Participants (N = 214, M = 16.40 years, SD = 1.29 years) from seven Portuguese
juvenile detention centers were followed and prospectively classified as recidivists
versus non-recidivists. Area under the curve (AUC) analysis revealed that the
Antisocial Process Screening Device–Self-Report (APSD-SR) presented the best
performance in terms of predicting general recidivism, with the Youth Psychopathic
Traits Inventory (YPI) and the Childhood and Adolescent Taxon Scale–Self-Report
(CATS-SR) presenting much poorer results. However, logistic regression models
controlling for past frequency of crimes and age of first incarceration found that none
of these self-report measures significantly predicted 1- or 3-year recidivism, whether
general or violent. Findings suggest there are limitations in terms of the incremental
utility of self-report measures of psychopathic traits in predicting recidivism among
juveniles.
