Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given behavior of shoplifting shortly after being released from jail for burglary is characteristic of individuals with antisocial personality disorder. These individuals display a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others, including law-breaking behavior, deceitfulness, impulsivity, aggressiveness, irresponsibility, and lack of remorse. They often show a disregard for punishment and may continue to engage in criminal behavior despite legal consequences. Avoidant, schizotypal, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders do not typically feature criminal behavior related to a lack of regard for punishment.
