Abstract
The present study examines the extent to which serious head injuries during adolescence and early young adulthood increase an individual's risk for psychopathic traits and self-reported offending among justice-involved youth. Results indicated that cumulative head injuries predicted a greater degree of psychopathic traits and offending among youth.
