“…Men with serious psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia tend to show larger FA than controls (Markow & Wandler 1986;Mellor 1992). We and others have reported that men with a history of aggression or violence show signs of neurodevelopmental disturbances such as learning disability, neuromotor de¢cits, obstetrical complications and low IQ (Raine et al 1994(Raine et al , 1996Harris et al 1999;reviewed in Mo¤tt 1993). It will be worthwhile investigating the relationship between a history of violence, serious psychiatric disorders and FA further.…”

We investigated the hypothesis that maternal immunoreactivity to male-speci¢c features of the foetus can increase developmental instability. We predicted that the participants' number of older brothers would be positively related to the £uctuating asymmetry of ten bilateral morphological traits. The participants were 40 adult male psychiatric patients and 31 adult male hospital employees. Consistent with the hypothesis, the participants' number of older brothersöbut not number of older sisters, younger brothers or younger sistersöwas positively associated with £uctuating asymmetry. The patients had signi¢cantly larger £uctuating asymmetry scores and tended to have more older brothers than the employees, but the positive relationship between the number of older brothers and £uctuating asymmetry was observed in both groups.

“…(pp. 50-53) Empirically, the early onset life-course persistent offender has been differentially predicted by individual-level, biosocial factors, including neurological abnormalities, autonomic hypoactivity (e.g., low resting heart rate), low cognitive ability, low birth weight, maternal cigarette use, perinatal complications, and neuropsychological deficits (DeLisi, 2001;Gibson & Tibbetts, 2000;Moffitt, Caspi, Rutter, & Silva, 2001;Moffitt, Lynam, & Silva, 1994;Piquero, 2001;Raine, Brennan, Mednick, & Mednick, 1996;Raine, Brennan, & Mednick, 1997;Tibbetts & Piquero, 1999). The essential conclusion to distill from this area of research is the combinatory importance of biological, sociological, and biosocial variables that interact and mutually reinforce to produce antisocial behavior (Caspi, Henry, McGee, Moffitt, & Silva,1995).…”

“…From a pub lic health per spec tive, it has been found that good par ent ing, sta ble fam ily en vi ron ment, and good early health and de vel op ment can miti gate against the ef fects of im pov erish ment and un em ploy ment; thus, the per ceived as so cia tion of pov erty with crime may be jus ti fied only if there are biologi cal and psy cho so cial vul ner abili ties op er at ing to gether (42).…”

Ob jec tive: To re view pub lished works on the epi de mi ol ogy, risk fac tors, pro tec tive fac tors, ty polo gies, and ge netic as pects of conduct dis or der (CD).

Plato, The Re pub licT his ar ti cle sum ma rizes rele vant find ings on epi de mi ology, en vi ron mental con tri bu tions, sub types, and ge netic as pects of CD. Other im por tant as pects, such as as sess ment, comor bidi ties, neu rop sy chi at ric vul ner abili ties, and treatment have been re cently well-reviewed (1-3). This pa per updates the reader on cur rent think ing about psy cho so cial risk and pro tec tive fac tors and hints at emerg ing bio logi cal risk fac tors, such as ge net ics. We con sulted origi nal ar ti cles and re views in both Med line and Psycinfo, par ticu larly those published over the last 15 years. For fur ther in for ma tion, please con sult the origi nal ref er enced works. Clini cal and pub lic health im pli ca tions are in di cated, where ap pro pri ate. DefinitionsCD is 1 of 3 dis rup tive be hav iour dis or ders (4), the oth ers being op po si tional de fi ant dis or der (ODD) and attention-deficit hy per ac tiv ity dis or der (ADHD). As in di cated in the DSM-IV, CD con notes a se vere ex ter nal iz ing dis or der com pris ing se rious ag gres sive and an ti so cial be hav iours such as fight ing, bul ly ing, cru elty, rob bery, forc ing sex ual ac tiv ity, fire set ting, theft, con ning, tru ancy, and other rule vio la tions.

Ado les cent an ti so cial be hav iour that breaks the law (and gets caught) may re sult in con tact with po lice and the courts; the terms "de lin quent" and "young offender48 would then ap ply. Thus, CD rep re sents a con stel lation of an ti so cial be hav iours; a sub group of youths with se vere CD will be de lin quents (5). We will also use the terms "ag gres sion" and "vio lence" in this over view. Ag gres sion is de fined as out ward de struc tive be hav iour that re sults from the con flu ence of longer-term fac tors (for ex am ple, bio logi cal, psy cho logi cal and per son al ity, fam ily, peer, school, and commu nity), short-term in flu ences (for ex am ple, in ter nal states of an ger, bore dom, or in toxi ca tion) and situa tional op por tu nity. Vio lence-a par ticu lar form of overt and in ten tional ag gression-uses or credi bly threat ens to use physi cal force such as beat ing, kick ing, chok ing, us ing a weapon, forc ing sex, and throw ing ob jects.
