The paper describes the psychological meaningfulness of a classification scheme of criminals proposed in the social and cultural context of Pakistan. On the basis of the suggested typology, 220 randomly selected male convicts were classified in to two groups of Professional and Non-professional Criminals. Social psychological and legal factors which formed the basis of classification included convict's Occupational Life Pattern, Type of Crime, Interpersonal Context, Premeditation, Criminal Associations and Past Criminal Record. Two groups thus obtained were compared on three psychological variables: Physically Broken Home, Psychologically Disrupted Home, and Defective Modes of Discipline indicating Psychological Adversity during childhood and early adolescence. Professional Criminals differed significantly (p < 0.008) from Non-professionals whose crimes are explained in terms of the social and cultural conditions of Pakistan. Implications for further research and handling of prison inmates have been pointed out.
