          Abstract

          Introduction

          Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is commonly associated with the risk of criminal recidivism. Knowing more about the factors associated with this pattern of behaviour can help with the design of effective prevention strategies. The purpose of this article is to establish if there are differences in socio-criminogenic variables of a group of criminals sentenced for the first time and with APSD compared to another group of first-time offenders who do not present this disorder.

          Materials and methods

          Analytical observation study of 70 men classified into 2 groups according to the presence of ASPD TPA (n=47; age: 29.98±7.8 years) or absence of ASPD (n=23; age: 32.35±8.7 years).

          Results

          The inmates with ASPD showed higher frequencies of current consumption of psychoactive substances (31.9%), criminal associations and simultaneous use of psychoactive substances (70.2%), having committed the crime under the effects of a psychoactive substance (55.3%), not having the possibility of distancing themselves from criminal associations (83%) and a lack of legal resources for proceedings for defence and release (76.6%).

          Discussion

          This sample contains a group of variables called dynamic that are more commonly present amongst first time offenders with ASPD; said variables have been associated as major predictors of recidivism. Given that they are regarded as dynamic, they may well be modifiable.

          Resumen

          Introducción

          El trastorno de personalidad antisocial (TPA) suele asociarse al riesgo de la reincidencia criminal. Conocer los factores asociados a este patrón de comportamiento ayudaría en el diseño de estrategias efectivas de prevención. El propósito de esta investigación es establecer si existen diferencias en variables sociocriminógenas de un grupo de delincuentes condenados por primera vez, con TPA comparado con otro grupo de delincuentes primarios que no lo presenta.

          Materiales y métodos

          Estudio observacional analítico de 70 hombres clasificados en 2 grupos de acuerdo a la presencia del TPA (n=47; edad: 29,98±7,8 años) o ausencia de TPA (n=23; edad: 32,35±8,7 años).

          Resultados

          Los internos con TPA mostraron frecuencias mayores de consumo actual de sustancias psicoactivas (SPA) (31.9%), vínculos delictivos y uso de SPA simultáneos (70.2%), haber cometido el delito bajo efectos de SPA (55.3%), no tener posibilidad de distanciamiento de vínculos delictivos (83%) y falta de medios jurídicos para tramites de defensa y libertad (76.6%).

          Discusión

          En esta muestra existe un grupo de variables denominadas dinámicas que, con mayor frecuencia, están presentes en los delincuentes primarios con TPA; variables que se han asociado como fuertes predictores de reincidencia y que al considerarse dinámicas pueden ser objeto de modificación.

            The characteristics of persistent sexual offenders: a meta-analysis of recidivism studies.

            A meta-analysis of 82 recidivism studies (1,620 findings from 29,450 sexual offenders) identified deviant sexual preferences and antisocial orientation as the major predictors of sexual recidivism for both adult and adolescent sexual offenders. Antisocial orientation was the major predictor of violent recidivism and general (any) recidivism. The review also identified some dynamic risk factors that have the potential of being useful treatment targets (e.g., sexual preoccupations, general self-regulation problems). Many of the variables commonly addressed in sex offender treatment programs (e.g., psychological distress, denial of sex crime, victim empathy, stated motivation for treatment) had little or no relationship with sexual or violent recidivism.
