Childhood Prevalence and Latent Classes of Behavioral Issues in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development-Social Development Dataset
This study sought to identify latent classes of early-life behavioral issues among a sample of youth and compare to previous results obtained from a justice-involved youth sample. The first wave of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development-Social Development Study was analyzed. Latent class analysis was used to identify within-person latent clusters of behavioral issues (violence, stealing, substance use, being disruptive, cheating). A three-cla…
The Association Between Serious Mental Health Problems and Violence
The media, the general public, and politicians often emphasize that mental illness is a precursor and a cause of violence, particularly emphasizing an assumed relationship between mental illness, including psychopathy and psychosis, and the use of guns to commit violence. We report which individuals with serious mental health problems have an increased risk to commit violence (including gun violence). Second, we answer the question to what extent…
Depression, anxiety and delinquency
The main aim of this research is to investigate to what extent within-individual changes in anxiety and depression are related to within-individual changes in theft and violence. The youngest sample of the Pittsburgh Youth Study (PYS), a prospective longitudinal survey of 503 boys followed up from age 7 onwards, was analyzed. Depression and anxiety were measured for boys from ages 11 to 16 as were moderate and serious forms of self-reported theft…
An examination of developmental patterns of chronic offending from self-report records and official data

The Challenge of Parenting Girls in Neighborhoods of Different Perceived Quality
It is well-known that disadvantaged neighborhoods, as officially identified through census data, harbor higher numbers of delinquent individuals than advantaged neighborhoods. What is much less known is whether parents' perception of the neighborhood problems predicts low parental engagement with their girls and, ultimately, how this is related to girls' delinquency, including violence. This paper elucidates these issues by examining data from th…
