Abstract

IN ORDER TO REDUCE DELINQUENCY IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL DELINQUENTS EARLY. THIS STUDY USES THE CAREER MATURITY INVENTORY TO DETERMINE IF THE TEST IS ABLE TO DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN KNOWN DELINQUENTS AND NONDELINQUENTS, AND TO DETERMINE THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE CAREER MATURITY INVENTORY AND THE TEST OF SOCIAL INSIGHT, WHICH IS KNOWN TO DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN KNOWN DELINQUENT AND NONDELINQUENT GROUPS....MSP
