Abstract in brief

  • The study uses data from the National Comorbidity Survey to examine how common antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is among people with different levels of involvement in the criminal justice system, finding it more prevalent among formerly incarcerated individuals but not in a straightforward way.
  • The prevalence of ASPD is highly affected by how one interprets the symptom of "failure to conform to social norms," especially since arrest plays a significant role in this measurement, with removing this symptom drastically lowering the diagnosis rates.
  • The research suggests that for formerly incarcerated individuals diagnosed with ASPD, their symptoms might be more influenced by their circumstances rather than true personality traits, as they often lack remorse and their symptoms could reflect situational factors rather than inherent personality flaws.]
