“…Professionals in the criminal justice system and mental health fields have gathered confidence in the belief that “nothing predicts behavior like behavior” (Kvaraceus, 1966, p. 53). It follows that risk assessment has become relevant in a wide range of criminal and civil decisions, such as precharge diversion, pretrial detention, eligibility for alternative measures, and suitability for treatment programs (Hoge, Vincent, & Guy, 2012).…”

“…31 For some years, workers in the criminal justice and mental health fields have taken comfort from the oft-quoted statement by the American psychologist Kvaraceus that 'nothing predicts behaviour like behaviour'. 32 However, as current commentators, for example Gunn, have pointed out, such statements may rest upon statistical error and reinforce the fallacious view that risk is a static phenomenon and unaffected by changes in social and other circumstances. 33 At the end of the day:…”

Dangerous behaviour, for the purpose of this paper is confined to the commission of serious harm to others and not to self. Such behaviour is examined within the context of definnitions of such behaviour, and issues that arise in respect of sentencing (including past and current practices). Certain ethical issues are considered and the paper concludes with a detailed consideration of aspects of management.

“…Family-related factors associated with conduct disorder and juvenile delinquency include child abuse or neglect, harsh parental discipline, absence of parental warmth, parental psychopathology, and family disruption. 8,15,[31][32][33][34] While parental warmth has been associated with secure attachment, psychological health, and social competence, children experiencing the opposite are more likely to present with aggression, hostility, negative self-esteem, and emotional instability. [34][35][36] Inconsistent, distant, or abusive parenting may lead to insecure attachment, causing children to view themselves as unlovable and the world as untrustworthy.…”

Aims The numbers of children in conflict with the law continue to rise in Asia, yet few studies have been conducted regarding factors associated with it. It has been theorized that children with conduct disorder represent majority of children in conflict with the law, and that poor moral competence mediates the association between conduct disorder and antisocial behavior. This study aimed to present a profile of Filipino children in conflict with the law, determine the prevalence of conduct disorder in the sample, and investigate variables associated with conduct disorder. Methods This was a cross‐sectional study conducted at a conflict with the law Custodial Care Center in the Philippines. The procedure entailed a diagnostic interview and questionnaire administration conducted by psychiatrists. Questionnaires administered included the Moral Competence Test and Parental Warmth and Acceptance Scale. Statistical analyses of data included descriptive statistics, chi‐square tests, and independent t tests. SPSS v.23.0 was used for data encoding and analysis. Results Twenty‐three participants were included in the study, with 10 participants with conduct disorder and 13 controls. Majority were male adolescents between the ages of 16 and 18 years. Conduct disorder was associated with commission of multiple violations, particularly theft and homicide, the presence of a substance use disorder, and a history of abuse. Participants with conduct disorder had lower moral competence levels compared to participants without conduct disorder. Conclusion Conduct disorder was associated with high‐risk antisocial behavior and lower levels of moral competence.
