An interview schedule was developed for use with the Lifestyle Criminality Screening Form (LCSF).
Abstract
Results achieved through use of this interview procedure were compared with findings obtained by means of the standard version (i.e., records review) of the LCSF. Subjects were 35 successively sampled maximum security prison inmates in the process of completing an admissions and orientation program as part of their induction into the general inmate population at the United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth. The standard and interview versions of the LCSF were found to correspond modestly when LCSF diagnosis and several individual items were considered; moderately when the majority of individual items and section scores were examined; and moderately high in the case of one individual item (confining offense), one section score (interpersonal intrusiveness) and the total LCSF score.
