Abstract

Comparative measurement of the body-buffer zones of eight violent and six non-violent prisoners showed the zones of the violent group to be almost four times larger. In the violent group the rear zones were larger than the front zones; in the non-violent group the front zones were larger. The large zones of the violent group may reflect a pathological body image state. The author discusses potential application of body-buffer zone measurements in the detection, treatment, and prognosis of individuals predisposed to violent behavior.
