Abstract：
The Criminal Sentiments Scale-Modified (CSS-M) has been widely used as a measure of criminal attitudes. This analysis examined CSS-M scores in a large sample of outpatients with serious mental illnesses and a criminal legal system history. We compared total and subscale scores in our sample to scores from two other previously published U.S. studies in which the CSS-M was used, and evaluated associations between total CSS-M score and nine variables (age, educational attainment, gender, race, marital status, employment status, diagnostic category, substance use disorder comorbidity, and adverse childhood experiences (ACE) score). Scores were higher than in two prior U.S. studies involving other types of samples. Independently significant predictors of higher CSS-M scores included being younger (P < .001), having a higher ACE score (P < .001), being male (P = 03), not identifying as White (P < 001), not having a psychotic disorder (P < 001), and having a comorbid substance use disorder (P = 002). Future research should test the hypothesis that these factors increase risk for arrest and that arrest events, and subsequent criminal legal system involvement, are characterized by negative experiences and perceptions of poor procedural justice, which in turn underpin the negative opinions referred to as \"criminal sentiments\" or criminal attitudes.
摘要：
犯罪情绪量表（CSS-M）已被广泛用作衡量犯罪态度的指标。此分析检查了大量患有严重精神疾病和刑事法律制度历史的门诊患者的CSS-M得分。我们将样本中的总分和子量表分数与其他两项先前发表的使用CSS-M的美国研究的分数进行了比较，并评估了CSS-M总分与9个变量(年龄，教育程度,性别,种族,婚姻状况,就业状况,诊断类别,物质使用障碍共病，和不良童年经历(ACE)评分)。得分高于美国先前两项涉及其他类型样本的研究。CSS-M得分较高的独立显著预测因素包括年轻(P<.001)，ACE评分较高（P<.001），男性（P=03），未识别为白色（P<001），没有精神病（P<001），并患有共病物质使用障碍（P=002）。未来的研究应该检验以下假设：这些因素会增加逮捕风险，逮捕事件，以及随后的刑事法律制度参与，其特点是负面的经验和对程序正义不佳的看法，这反过来又支撑了被称为“犯罪情绪”或犯罪态度的负面意见。
