    The measurement of antisocial and criminal behaviors is among the most central methodological issues in forensic psychology and criminology. The main objective of this article is to examine the psychometric properties of the Antisociality-Criminality Scale (ACS) in a Portuguese sample (N=242; M=30.19 years;

    DP=12.78 years). The results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated the presence of a latent one-factor structure with a satisfactory fit. Adequate psychometric properties were demonstrated, namely at the level of reliability and convergent, divergent, criterion, and group-known validity. Such results support the use of the ACS in forensic psychology and criminology settings.

    A medição de comportamentos antissociais e criminais está entre as questões metodológicas mais centrais em psicologia forense e criminologia. O presente artigo tem como objetivo examinar as propriedades psicométricas da Escala de Antissocialidade-Criminalidade (ACS) numa amostra portuguesa (N=242;

    M=30.19 anos; DP=12.78 anos). Os resultados da análise fatorial confirmatória indicaram a presença de uma estrutura latente unidimensional com um ajustamento satisfatório. Foram demonstradas propriedades psicométricas adequadas, nomeadamente ao nível de fiabilidade e de validade convergente, divergente, de critério e de grupos-conhecidos. Tais resultados apoiam a utilização da ACS em contextos da psicologia forense e da criminologia.
