Types Of Aggression, Responsiveness To Provocation, And Callous-Unemotional Traits In Detained Adolescents, Luna Muñoz, Paul Frick, Eva Kimonis, Katherine Aucoin Dec 2015

Types Of Aggression, Responsiveness To Provocation, And Callous-Unemotional Traits In Detained Adolescents, Luna Muñoz, Paul Frick, Eva Kimonis, Katherine Aucoin

Eva Kimonis

The present study investigated differences in the behavioral and psychophysiological responses to provocation and in the level of callous-unemotional traits in boys exhibiting different patterns of aggression. Eighty-five boys (ages 13–18) in a juvenile detention center played a competitive computer task against a hypothetical peer who provided low and high levels of provocation. Youth high on both self-reported reactive and proactive aggression showed different behavioral responses to provocation than youth high on only reactive aggression. Specifically, the combined group showed high levels of aggressive responses without any provocation, whereas the group high on reactive aggression showed an increase in aggressive …

Procedural Preferences, Perceptions Of Fairness, And Compliance With Outcomes: A Study Of Alternatives To The Standard Adversary Trial Procedure, Norman Poythress Dec 2015

Procedural Preferences, Perceptions Of Fairness, And Compliance With Outcomes: A Study Of Alternatives To The Standard Adversary Trial Procedure, Norman Poythress

Norman Poythress

Mental health professionals (N=198) read a vignette describing malpractice case and were asked to imagine themselves in the role of defendant. Using a between-subjects design, each subject was offered two possible trial procedures for resolving the case, the standard adversary procedure (ADVERS) and one of five possible hybrid procedures. Using scales that juxtaposed these two procedures, subjects provided judgments on 12 procedural justice dimensions. A series of regression analyses examined the most important determinants of PREFERENCE judgments, FAIRNESS ratings, and ratings of imagined COMPLIANCE with trial outcomes. PREFERENCE raings were significantly influenced by perceived FAIRNESS of the procedures and by …

Legal, Ethical, And Methodological Considerations In The Internet-Based Study Of Child Pornography Offenders, James Ray, Eva Kimonis, Christine Donoghue Dec 2015

Legal, Ethical, And Methodological Considerations In The Internet-Based Study Of Child Pornography Offenders, James Ray, Eva Kimonis, Christine Donoghue

Eva Kimonis

With its ever-growing penetration of remote regions of the world, the Internet provides great opportunity for conducting research. Beyond clear advantages such as increased cost-effectiveness and efficiency in collecting large samples, Internet-based research has proven particularly useful in reaching hidden or marginalized populations who engage in illegal or deviant behaviors. However, this new medium for research raises important and complex legal, ethical, and methodological/technological issues that researchers must address, particularly when studying undetected criminal behaviors. The current paper chronicles various issues that were encountered in the implementation of an active Internet-based pilot research study of child pornography (CP) users. Moreover, …


The Relationship Between Psychopathic Features, Violence And Treatment Outcome: The Comparison Of Three Youth Measures Of Psychopathic Features, Sarah Spain, Kevin Douglas, Norman Poythress, Monica Epstein Dec 2015

The Relationship Between Psychopathic Features, Violence And Treatment Outcome: The Comparison Of Three Youth Measures Of Psychopathic Features, Sarah Spain, Kevin Douglas, Norman Poythress, Monica Epstein

Norman Poythress

Few studies have compared self-report and clinician-administered measures of youth psychopathic features in juvenile-justice settings in terms of antisocial behavior and treatment indices. In a sample of 85 adjudicated delinquents, the predictive validities of the Antisocial Process Screening Device (APSD), the modified Childhood Psychopathy Scale (mCPS), and the Hare Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL:YV) were tested. Three indices of institutional antisocial behavior (physical aggression; verbal aggression; administrative infractions) and two indices of treatment progress (time to treatment level promotion; whether treatment levels were dropped) were used as external correlates. The self-report measures (mCPS more so than APSD) were more consistently …

Procedural Justice In The Context Of Civil Commitment: An Analogue Study, Michelle Cascardi, Norman Poythress, Alicia Hall Dec 2015

Procedural Justice In The Context Of Civil Commitment: An Analogue Study, Michelle Cascardi, Norman Poythress, Alicia Hall

Norman Poythress

Procedural justice theory posits that the process by which disputes are resolved in¯uences perceptions of fairness and satisfaction with outcomes, even if the outcomes are unfavorable. Within the context of civil commitment, Tyler (1992) has suggested that enhancing respondents' perceptions of procedural justice (i.e., participation, dignity, and trust) during commitment proceedings might facilitate accommodation to an adverse judicial determination (i.e., commitment) and subsequently enhance therapeutic outcomes. The study reported here used videotapes of mock commitment hearings to examine whether patients committed for involuntary treatment are sensitive to procedural justice manipulations. Results suggest that patients are sensitive to procedural justice manipulations …

Heightened Emotional Reactivity And Proactive Aggression In Youth With Narcissistic Traits, Luna Munoz, Eva Kimonis, Charlene Strikleton, Paul Frick Dec 2015

Heightened Emotional Reactivity And Proactive Aggression In Youth With Narcissistic Traits, Luna Munoz, Eva Kimonis, Charlene Strikleton, Paul Frick

Eva Kimonis

The link between narcissism and aggression may reflect a pattern of emotional hyperarousal; however, the emotional substrates of narcissistic personality are not well understood. We assessed the relation between narcissism – one dimension of psychopathy-- and self-reported and laboratory measures of aggression in a detained sample of boys. Also, indices of emotion functioning were assessed: attentional bias to emotionally distressing pictures and psychophysiological measures. Results suggest that narcissistic individuals are proactively aggressive and show a pattern of heightened emotional arousal, compared with callous-unemotional youth who show reduced arousal.

David C. Brown

Re: Bail - Additional show cause offences We refer to the Attorney General's request for the Sentencing Council to consider a proposal to make amendments to the Bail Act 2013 (NSW) ('the 2013 Act') and specifically the Terms of Reference regarding the addition to the categories of offences for which the accused must 'show cause' before bail may be granted. The specific addition under consideration is with respect to an accused charged with a serious indictable offence committed: • while subject to a good behaviour bond, intervention program order, intensive correction order; • while serving a sentence in the community; …


Can The West Learn From The Rest?' The Chinese Legal Order's Hybrid Modernity, Nicholas Howson Dec 2015

Can The West Learn From The Rest?' The Chinese Legal Order's Hybrid Modernity, Nicholas Howson

Nicholas Howson

I am asked to present on the "shortcomings of the Western model of legality based on a professionalized, individualistic and highly formalistic approach to justice" as a way to understanding if "the West can develop today a form of legality which is relational rather than based on litigation as a zero sum game, learning from face to face social organizations in which individuals understand the law" - presumably in the context of the imperial and modem Chinese legal systems which I know best as a scholar and have lived for many years as a resident of the modem identity of …


Relationships Between Psychopathy And Impulsivity In The Domain Of Self-Reported Personality Features, James Ray, Norman Poythress, John Weir, Angela Rickelm Dec 2015

Relationships Between Psychopathy And Impulsivity In The Domain Of Self-Reported Personality Features, James Ray, Norman Poythress, John Weir, Angela Rickelm

Norman Poythress

Impulsivity is widely accepted as a characteristic of psychopathy. However, both psychopathy and impulsivity are multi-faceted constructs, and theory suggests that primary and secondary variants of psychopathy may differ in their manifestations of impulsivity-related features. Using a sample of 92 offenders, this study used the fearless dominance (FD) and self-centered impulsivity (SCI) factors of the psychopathic personality inventory - revised (PPI-R; Lilienfeld, S.O., & Widows, M.R. (2005). Psychological assessment inventory - revised (PPI-R). Lutz, FL: Psychological Assessment Resources.), respectively, as proxy indicators of primary and secondary psychopathy, and examined their relations to multiple impulsivity- related constructs. Bivariate and hierarchical regression …

Psychopathic Personality Or Personalities? Exploring Potential Variants Of Psychopathy And Their Implications For Risk Assessment, Jennifer Skeem, Norman Poythress, John Edens, Scott Lilienfeld Dec 2015

Psychopathic Personality Or Personalities? Exploring Potential Variants Of Psychopathy And Their Implications For Risk Assessment, Jennifer Skeem, Norman Poythress, John Edens, Scott Lilienfeld

Norman Poythress

Although psychopathy typically has been construed as a relatively uniform construct, seminal theories and contemporary research suggest that it may be heterogeneous. In this article, the most promising literature is distilled to distinguish among potential variants of antisocial personality disorder (APD) that can be derived from, and informed by, modern conceptions of psychopathy. This analysis suggests that there are primary and secondary variants of psychopathy, which may be distinguished based on the extent to which they are heritable and are characterized by affective deficits, impulsivity, trait anxiety, and characteristics of borderline and narcissistic personality disorders (NPD). These variants also may …
