“…Despite support for a distinction based on the age of onset of ASB, it is important to note that some studies did not find both childhood and adolescent onset patterns paths (Chung et al 2002;Fergusson et al 2000;Wiesner and Capaldi 2003). One possible explanation of these contradictory results may be a methodological artefact that we refer to as 'lumping or splitting' (see Vitaro et al 2006).…”

Differences in developmental trajectories of physical violence, vandalism, theft, and alcohol-drug use from ages 10 to 15 were studied. For females and for males, three trajectories of theft and of alcohol-drug use increased from 10 years to 15 years, while only the high trajectory of vandalism increased from ten to 14. All trajectories of physical violence decreased. Children who engaged in the high trajectories of vandalism, theft, and alcohol-drug use had a high probability of also being high in physical violence. Compared to males, females were less likely to be on the high trajectory of physical violence, and their trajectories of other antisocial behaviors were less strongly associated with high levels of physical violence. The results suggest that physical violence during pre-adolescence and adolescence has a different developmental pattern than other forms of antisocial behavior, and that its relation to these other forms of antisocial behavior differs by sex.

“…Studies using official records have identified a group with an adult-onset offending pattern [13,48], but evidence is mixed using self-report data. Several studies using population-based samples have identified a late-onset trajectory of offenders whose antisocial behavior starts to accelerate from very low to higher levels in their late teens [7,9], but others have failed to reveal such a pattern [4,45]. There are two explanations of adult-onset criminality.…”

Introduction This study aimed to contribute to the existing literature by testing whether the same classes of antisocial behavior typically uncovered in the literature would be revealed with the additional information about heterotypic antisocial behavior. We investigated the development of men's antisocial behavior in its homotypic and heterotypic forms from age 12 to 30 years in a large representative sample. Material and methods Data were drawn from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. This study included 3639 male participants from 6 birth cohorts (1977)(1978)(1979)(1980)(1981)(1982), first assessed in 1995 and followed up to [2008][2009]. Homotypic antisocial behavior comprised items that were assessed at every wave, and heterotypic antisocial behavior comprised adolescent-and adult-specific items. Group-based modeling was used to identify classes of antisocial behavior. Results Five trajectories were identified: low, life-course-persistent, adolescent-limited, moderate declining, and adult-peak. Conclusion By including heterotypic items, we showed that a group whose antisocial behavior is typically identified as emerging in adulthood was already engaging in moderate levels of antisocial behavior in adolescence. The implications of sample characteristics and forms of antisocial behavior for accurate classification are discussed.

“…La presencia de comportamientos agresivos altera el desempeño académico de niños y niñas ya que, por presentarlos, los niños pueden ser excluidos de los procesos educativos en sus escuelas (14,15) . La exclusión del aula está asociada a que se manifiesten de manera más clara y frecuente actitudes hostiles y violentas frente a las demás personas en el entorno social y familiar del menor.…”

COMPORTAMIENTO AGRESIVO Y PROSOCIAL DE ESCOLARES RESIDENTES EN ENTORNOS CON ALTOS NIVELES DE POBREZA RESUMENObjetivos. Evaluar los niveles de agresividad directa e indirecta y prosocialidad en un grupo de escolares de colegios públicos ubicados en trece municipios de un departamento intermedio de Colombia. Materiales y métodos. Un total de 2785 niños y niñas con edades entre los tres y once años fueron evaluados con un instrumento validado para población colombiana, que mide agresividad y prosocialidad a través de la observación directa del maestro de escuela.Resultados. Los niños presentaron predominantemente comportamientos asociados con la agresividad directa (22,4%) y las niñas a la agresividad indirecta (8,0%). Los comportamientos prosociales fueron mas comunes en las niñas (67,2%) y en las edades de 10 y 11 años de edad (67,4 %) . Conclusiones. El grado de presencia de comportamientos agresivos estaría relacionada con el contexto sociocultural en el que viven los niños y esta problemática puede ser detectada e intervenida por los maestros en la escuela. Palabras claves: Agresividad directa; Agresividad indirecta; Prosocialidad; Niños (fuente: DeCS BIREME). AGGRESSIVE AND PROSOCIAL BEHAVIORS AMONG SCHOOLCHILDREN LIVING IN ENVIRONMENTS WITH HIGH LEVELS OF POVERTY ABSTRACTObjetives. To assess the levels of direct and indirect aggression and prosocial behaviors among schoolchildren at public schools located in 13 municipalities of an intermediate region of Colombia. Materials and Methods. A total of 2,785 children aged 3-11 years were assessed using an instrument validated for the Colombian population that measures aggression and prosocial behavior via direct observations of schoolteachers. Results. Boys predominantly exhibited behaviors associated with direct aggression (22.4%), whereas girls exhibited behaviors of indirect aggression (8.0%). Prosocial behaviors were more common in women (67.2%) and in 10-11-year-old children (67.4%). Conclusions. The degree of aggressive behavior may be related to the sociocultural milieu in which children live, and can be detected and subjected to intervention by schoolteachers.
