The present study examines the reliability and construct validity of the Dutch version of the Psychopathy Check List:Youth Version (PCL:YV) in a sample of male adolescents admitted to a secure juvenile justice treatment institution (N = 98). Hare’s four-factor model is used to examine reliability and validity of the separate dimensions of psychopathy. Interrater reliabilities are good to excellent for the PCL:YV total score and most factor scores, except for the affective factor. Several suggestions are offered for optimizing reliability of this factor. Finally, meaningful associations between PCL:YV scores and scores on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory–Adolescent and the Interpersonal Checklist–Revised support the construct validity of the PCL:YV total score as well as the four factors in the Dutch context.
