title: A factor analytic study of the demographic characteristics of incarcerated males.
abstract: A factor analytic study of demographic and behavioral variables on adult male inmates (N = 200) of a correctional facility in the South produced eight identifiable factors. The clusters formed appeared in agreement with clinical impressions of commonalities, though some surprises were found, such as no clustering related to seriousness of offense. Labels and descriptions of factors were presented.
