When Psychopaths Go To College: Psychopathic Traits And College Adjustment, Lyndsey L. Adams Jan 2005

When Psychopaths Go To College: Psychopathic Traits And College Adjustment, Lyndsey L. Adams

McNair Scholars Journal

Estimated as less than 1% of the general population, psychopaths are responsible for significant amounts of violence. However, few studies have explored psychopathic personality characteristics in non-incarcerated populations, or “hidden” psychopaths. Using the Psychopathic Personality Inventory (PPI), this study evaluated correlations between psychopathic traits and indicators of college maladjustment. We hypothesize that “hidden” college psychopaths are more interpersonally maladjusted than peers, equally successful intellectually, and less impulsive than their incarcerated counterparts. Understanding the differences and similarities between incarcerated and hidden psychopaths may lead to improved recognition and possibly early intervention with these social predators.


The Relationship Between Parole And Recidivism In The Criminal Justice System, Jacquelin A. Robinson Jan 2005

The Relationship Between Parole And Recidivism In The Criminal Justice System, Jacquelin A. Robinson

McNair Scholars Journal

From 1990 to 1999 the criminal justice system experienced a fifty percent increase in the inmate population, which included recidivated parolees. Critics claimed the parole process was not working and lobbied legislature to take action. The system responded by decreasing parole agency budgets, increasing prison sentences, and reducing rehabilitation services for paroled inmates. Research pertaining to parole and recidivism indicates two variables: there is or isn’t a direct association. The objective of this study is to compare the data and decide if parole is a viable solution for decreasing recidivism rates.

Psychopaths In The Courtroom: A Preliminary Report On Judicial Sentencing For Violent Offenses, John Traxler Jan 2004

Psychopaths In The Courtroom: A Preliminary Report On Judicial Sentencing For Violent Offenses, John Traxler

McNair Scholars Journal

Every day, judges are faced with making decisions about a defendant’s potential risk as it relates to setting bail, sentencing, and a variety of other contexts. In making these decisions, judges must balance issues of fairness and protection of the individual rights of the accused with protection of society from dangerous predators who may commit future acts of physical or sexual violence. As professionals who are not specifically trained in violence assessment, judges must rely on others, including probation agents, attorneys, and expert witnesses, for information to assist in their decision-making.
