“…The original Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) (Hathaway & McKinley, 1943) has a long history of use in research on the assessment of juvenile delinquents (e.g., Hathaway & Monachesi, 1957). Since its revision and publication of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent (MMPI-A) (Butcher et al, 1992), several more studies have examined the use of the MMPI-A in assessing juvenile delinquents (Cashel, Rogers, Sewell, & Holliman, 1998;Morton, Farris, & Brenowitz, 2002;Peña, Megargee, & Brody, 1996). These studies have generally found specific score patterns that distinguish between delinquents and the normative group.…”
