    Description

    Childhood conduct problems are a reliable predictor of delinquency in adolescence. However, many children desist in their antisociality between these periods. Much work has been done to identify risk and protective factors for antisociality in childhood and adolescence, but less is known about the factors that predict discontinuities in antisociality. This study examined a wide range of dispositional, familial, peer, and sociodemographic factors that might predict desistance in antisociality from childhood to adolescence. Prospective links from these variables to patterns of continuity versus discontinuity in antisociality from childhood to late adolescence were tested in a large, socioeconomically diverse sample of adolescents from across the United States.
