| Sumario: | In the constellation of psychiatric diagnoses and psychological features associated with clinical conduct problems, forensic mental health is an important conceptual area largely missing from criminological research. Here, we 1) review the p Factor theory as a general psychopathology model for forensic mental health and antisocial behavioral development, 2) synthesize research about mental health morbidity among various correctional clients, 3) explicate mental health barriers that impede rehabilitation efforts and desistance from crime, and 4) provide candidate constructs (conduct disorder and antisocial personality disorder) in forensic mental health to inform data collection and model specification. Criminologists should prioritize forensic mental health to bolster the interdisciplinary scope and scientific reach of criminology and criminal justice. |
