Article Abstract
The author presents data on the incidence and reliability of the DSM-III diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder in 246 male inmates of two prisons, comparing this diagnosis with assessment procedures that have proven useful in the study of psychopathy.

Nevertheless, DSM-III may be useful for differential diagnosis in criminal populations.
