Abstract

Recent analyses of data on the Baxstrom patients¹ resuited in some refinements in the authors' measurement of dangerous behavior and the finding that two factors, particularly in combination, were highly related to subsequent arrest and dangerous behavior. The authors discuss the implications of this finding for the prediction of dangerous behavior and the need for additional research.
