Youths from the high - risk sample with a higher score on the YPI callous and
unemotional scale had a higher probability for having committed non-violent offenses than youths scoring low on this scale.
Next, we considered the YPI callous and
unemotional scale for non-violent offenses (Table 1, Model 2); the first block significantly predicted non-violent offenses [χ2 (4) = 140.25, p < 0.001; Nagelkerke R2 = 0.15].
Meaning that having a higher score on the YPI callous and
unemotional scale increased the probability for having committed non-violent offenses for youths from the high - risk sample and not for youths from the general population sample.
Recently, Ray et al. [54] studying a sample of adolescents, have pointed out that
the unemotional scale contributes to an overall CU factor but is weakly associated with other subscales; they recommend further research to conceptualize it within the broader construct of CU behaviors.
With regard to the lack of correlation between ages 3 and 5 for the unemotional component of the ICU, Roose et al. [53] noted that some of the items on
the unemotional scale reflect emotional expression that appears to be independent of antisocial behavior, and its usefulness in this questionnaire must consequently be reconsidered.

Assuming the three factor structure validated in previous research (callousness, uncaring and
unemotional), results showed the expected associations of ICU
scales and other psychopathic and more general personality traits, as well as with a wide range of external behavioral and psychosocial criteria.
However, there was a moderating effect of sample for the relationship between the callous and
unemotional YPI
scale and non-violent offenses.

These
scales map onto three domains: grandiose - manipulative (including the subscales dishonest charm, grandiosity, lying and manipulation), callous and
unemotional (including the subscales callousness, unemotionality and remorselessness), and impulsive - irresponsible (including the subscales impulsiveness, thrill - seeking and irresponsibility).

Youths from the high - risk sample scored significantly higher than youths from the general population sample on all the YPI
scales: grandiose - manipulative [10.58 versus 9.38; t (587) = 7.06, p < 0.001], callous and
