This study provides the most comprehensive psychometric evaluation of the Spanish BPAQ-SF in incarcerated populations to date. Findings from this study challenge the applicability of the traditional four-factor structure and demonstrate substantial sample dependency in how aggression constructs are organized across populations.

This chapter provides a blueprint that recognizes the reluctance of the correctional system to address trauma, the lack of funding and staffing expertise to support and sustain a therapeutically sensible response to trauma, and the superseding public health imperative to treat and rehabilitate trauma in cost-effective ways.
