The Psychopathy Checklist-Revised is used for forensic and clinical settings to give an indication of the level of psychopathy and individual presents. The use of the PCL-R with offenders with a learning disability (LD) is under-studied. This current study aims to replicate an earlier study which focused on the problems arising from assessing an LD service sample from Rampton Hospital. The results may suggest that the PCL-R may be used reliability with offenders with low intellectual functioning.
