“…Interestingly, they suggested that the PIQVIQ pattern may actually be more indicative of the learning difficulties that are a frequent concomitant of delinquency than of the delinquency itself (an issue that has also been raised by more recent studies, as we shall discuss). For example, whereas Wiens, Materazzo, and Gaver (1959) found a significant PIQVIQ in a group of male offenders, Graham and Kamano (1958) found that this relationship held only for subjects who were also poor readers.…”

Neuropsychological studies of aggressive psychopaths have revealed characteristic deficits in skills that require verbal mediation, conceptual integration, and the abilities to anticipate consequences of actions and to use feedback from behavior to modify maladaptive response patterns. Formulations of this impairment pattern in terms of frontal lobe and left hemisphere dysfunction are reviewed. It is proposed that the aggressive psychopath suffers from an inability to form a self‐referential conceptual classification system for behavioral control and that this predisposes to behavioral disinhibition in situations of stress and interpersonal ambiguity. Finally, implications of neuropsychological studies of aggressive psychopathy for the study of personality and psychopathology are discussed.

There has been a good deal of conjecture about the relationship between giftedness and juvenile delinquency among adolescents. Many unfounded claims have been sensationalized and much of the research has been ignored. There continues to be contradictory evidence in the literature as to this relationship, but clearly there is no cause and effect determined. There are however some important indicators of which professionals in gifted education should be aware.This article attempts to put the issue of giftedness and delinquency in perspective based on a review of pertinent literature and a two year study of 268 delinquents in a suburban court system. Two juxtaposed theories evolve from this review about the likelihood of gifted youth to engage in inappropriate behavior and become delinquent.
