| Abstract
|
:
|
In this work, top experts in the field of delinquency discuss the implications of the findings of the Pittsburgh Youth Study for current conceptualizations of antisocial behavior. The work is unique in that it combines the strengths of three disciplines to explain delinquency in young people: developmental psychopathology, criminology, and public health. The book addresses questions in two main areas: 1) serious offending as an outcome over time and developmental aspects of serious offending; and 2) factors which explain why some young males become violent and/or commit serious crime while others do not. The work is a resource for researchers, practitioners and students in developmental, school and counseling psychology; psychopathology, psychiatry, public health and criminology.
