AMAR, José; CERVANTES, Marco; BRUNAL, Gustavo y CRESPO, Fernando. Comparison of personality profiles in individuals with public safety crimes, minor crime and crime-free. rev.latinoam.psicol. [online]. 2011, vol.43, n.1, pp.113-123. ISSN 0120-0534.
This study was aimed to compare the psychological profile of three groups of individuals, two of whom were held at a prison for committing a criminal act under the penal code criminalized as a Crime against public safety (Group A), and Misdemeanors (Group B ), and the third group (C) consisting of Persons without committing crimes and free. We evaluated 450 men, aged between 18 and 50, through a transaction designed non experimental comparison. The questionnaire was applied Minimult of Kincannon (1968) for the measurement of eight psychological profiles (Hysteria, Depression, Paranoia, Schizophrenia, Psychasthenia, psychopathic deviation, Hypochondriasis and Hypomania). The data were analyzed using MANOVA model to discriminate between different groups of measured variables. The results were consistent with previous research and suggest the presence of psychopathological features among those who committed more violent crimes.
