“…With regard to incarcerated offenders, some studies have not found the anger-violence association, such as Loza and Loza-Fanous (1999) and Mills and Kroner (2003). Neither study found anger to be predictive of 'violence'.…”

Anger has had insufficient priority in the forensic field. From classical scholarship to contemporary neuroscience, anger has been known for its dynamic bearing on violence risk and for its involvement in psychiatric disorders. Anger is intrinsically and reciprocally related to threat perception, and it impels violent behavior in the absence of selfregulatory controls. Focus is given to what has been learned in forensic domains about anger as an impetus for the violent behavior of offenders. Issues bearing on anger assessment in forensic settings are discussed. Topics for further engagement in forensic research on anger are presented, including offender readiness, transdiagnostic processes, and female offender specificity. While anger treatment is not covered, interfacing discussion is provided throughout.

The importation model of inmate behavior posits that pre-confinement characteristics and behaviors contribute to inmate misconduct; however most of this research has centered on criminal history and not psychosocial characteristics that might predict misconduct, namely anger. Controlling for 14 confounds, including psychiatric symptoms, age, race, gender, commitment offense type, and four measures of prior delinquency, anger significantly predicted sexual misconduct, staff assaults, and aggressive misconduct and approached significance in predicting 419 420 M. DeLisi et al. ward assaults. ROC-AUC analyses indicated that the MASYI-2 angry-irritable scale had significant but modest classification power, with sensitivities ranging from .58 to .66. Suggestions for future research are provided.

“…More recently Paulhus (2001) suggests that impression management should be used more to explain the absence of an effect rather than as a routine control. This cautionary approach is well given, particularly with offender samples, as controlling for impression management can eliminate statistically significant relationships (Mills and Kroner, 2003b).…”
