520 _aWhy are females antisocial so seldom and males antisocial so often? This key question is addressed in a new approach to sex differences in the causes, course and consequences of antisocial behaviour. The book presents findings from an investigation of 1,000 males and females studied from the ages of 3 to 21 years. It shows that young people develop antisocial behaviour for two reasons. One is a neurodevelopmental disorder afflicting males, with low prevalence in the population, early childhood onset and subsequent persistence. The other form afflicting females as well as males is common and emerges in the context of social relationships. The book offers insights about diagnosis and measurement, the importance of puberty, the problem of partner violence, and the nature of inter-generational transmission.
