%X The predictive validity of the EPQ scales with regard to future offending was examined. The Junior and Adult EPQ forms were administered to 179 male high-school students (13-15 yrs) and 75 delinquent youths (15-18 yrs), respectively. All subjects were followed up with regard to proven offences committed in the 12-month period following testing. The results suggested that both the junior and adult form P and C scales have validity in predicting future offending.<p />
