Abstract: This research examined Borderline Personality Disorder, gender differences and socioeconomic status as predictors of deviant behaviours among students of Borstal Training Institute. The age baseline for the assessment of borderline personality disorder is 18years and for that reason, this study used, seventy six males (67.00%) and thirty seven (33.00%) females who were 18 years and above for the study. The participants were selected using purposive sampling technique. Three instruments were used; Demographic questionnaire, MacLean Screening Instrument for borderline personality disorder and Deviant Behaviour Variety Scale to collect data for the study while simple linear regression, t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used in the analysis. The results showed that Boderline Personality Disorder predicted deviant behavior and there was a significant gender difference in deviant behavior among students of the Borstal Training Institute. There was no significant difference in deviant behaviour by socio-economic status among students of the Borstal Training Institute. Based on the result, the first and second alternate hypotheses were accepted while the third hypothesis was rejected. Limitations of the study were stated; and recommendations made for further studies.
