Only 26 of the inmates in this sample were diagnosed as having PTSD. The findings show a relationship between PTSD and its symptoms and arrest and incarceration for expressive violence when demographic, antisocial personality, and problem drinking are controlled. For most of those inmates who experienced at least one PTSD symptom and had an arrest history for incidents of expressive violence, the symptom preceded or occurred in the same year as the violence arrest. This finding is consistent with the hypothesis that PTSD symptoms are etiologically relevant to the occurrence of violence. 4 tables and 33 references
