Abstract
The authors' study, based on an eight- to nine-year follow-up of convicted male felons, indicates that consistency in the diagnosis of antisocial personality is related to the extent of the original history of delinquent and criminal behavior. Inconsistency appears to be a manifestation of milder antisocial personality.
