Abstract
There is controversy over whether the strong focus on callous-unemotional (CU) traits over other psychopathy dimensions, for designating a clinically meaningful group of antisocial youth, is warranted. The current study aims to inform this debate by testing the unique contribution of CU traits, over other psychopathy dimensions, in predicting recidivism.
