Abstract
The HDHQ, 16 PF and PSI were administered to 315 detainees at Medomsley Detention Centre, Durham, along with tests of intelligence and attainment, and measures of previous criminal history. One hundred and ninety-one boys were subsequently reconvicted within two years of their release. They were found to have lower scores on reading and arithmetic tests, to show a greater degree of extrapunitive hostility and to score more highly on tests of social non-conformity. Recidivists had also begun their criminal careers at an earlier age than non-recidivists and had committed significantly more previous offences.
