“…Generally, severe conduct problems are also associated with low intelligence in youth samples (e.g., Lipsitt, Buka, & Lipsitt, 1990;Moffitt, 1993b;Moffitt & Henry, 1991) and thus it seems reasonable to question whether psychopathic traits in children might have a moderating effect on this relationship similar to that identified in the adult literature. Christian et al (1997) examined intelligence in four clusters of children formed on the basis of conduct problems and C/U traits.…”

To develop more accurate explanatory and predictive models of child and adolescent conduct problems, interest has grown in examining psychopathic traits in youth. The presence or absence of these traits may help to identify unique etiological pathways in the development of antisocial behavior. The current review provides a detailed summary and analysis of (a) the conceptualization and measurement of child and adolescent psychopathy, (b) research on relations between psychopathic traits and a range of conduct problems and associated variables, (c) efforts to utilize data on child and adolescent psychopathy to delineate a subgroup of youth whose conduct problems share a relatively homogenous etiology and developmental trajectory, and (d) current challenges and limitations in the study of youth psychopathy and directions for future research efforts. Specific sections include the origins of the youth psychopathy construct, conceptualization and measurement, relations between psychopathic traits and conduct problems, relations between measures of psychopathy and measures of individual and contextual variables, efforts to identify a unique subgroup of children with conduct problems using psychopathic traits, and finally, challenges that face the field and goals for the next generation of research.

“…The troubled lives of life-course persistent offenders start with biological risk factors that predispose them to antisocial behavior (Moffitt, 1990b;Moffitt & Henry, 1991;Raine, 2002). Neuropsychological deficits, as indicated by observables such as inattention, hyperactivity, and under-controlled temperament, are necessary (but not sufficient) for the development of life-course persistent antisocial behavior (Aguilar, Sroufe, Egeland, & Carlson, 2000).…”

Life-course persistent offending contributes greatly to violent offending in any country. South Africa has high rates of violence; this study investigated what proportion of young South African offenders might be identified as life-course persistent, and what risk factors identified this group. Offenders aged 12 to 25 years ( N = 395) were selected from eight different correctional facilities in four provinces of South Africa. Latent class analysis identified 164 offenders (41.5%) with distinctly earlier starts and more serious offending. These (probably life-course persistent) offenders were distinguished from others by male gender, violence at home, other victimization, familial crime, school performance, violence at school, and alcohol abuse and gang membership. Correctional services should be specifically targeted at this large subgroup of offenders to prevent recidivism. Primary prevention efforts should be targeted at preventing violence at home and school, at promoting school attachment, at substance abuse treatment, and at gang membership.
