“…Interestingly, those high on both CU and grandiose–manipulative or daring–impulsive evidenced greater deficits on several childhood risk factors related to experiencing adverse parenting practices and risky parental characteristics. The authors discussed including these specific childhood risk factors as they were found to predict adult psychopathic behavior in other work (Farrington, 2007). The findings suggest a complex relationship between ACEs, psychopathic features, and later life antisocial behavior including offending.…”

“…Prior analysis of the longitudinal CSDD demonstrated relationships between traumatic exposures (family separation and parental mental health) and inept parenting (poor supervision) with impulsive/irresponsible and antisocial psychopathy factors in adulthood (Farrington, 2007). However, such relationships were neither found with interpersonal nor affective components of psychopathy in adulthood.…”

Childhood maltreatment and inept parental disciplinary, attachment, and monitoring practices evidence a relationship with early and severe childhood and adolescent aggression and have figured prominently as causative factors in theoretical and empirical underpinnings of lifelong antisocial behavior. Abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction have been linked to both violent offending and higher scores on measures of dispositional tendencies associated with psychopathy. The current study incorporates these lines of research by examining a potential pathway by which cumulative adverse childhood experience exposure, rather than single exposures assessed independently, leads to chronic and serious juvenile offending. Specifically, we leverage a sample of 64,007 juvenile offenders who have aged out of the juvenile justice system to examine the extent to which the effects of traumatic exposure on age of onset (first arrest) as well as residential placement, total offenses, and serious, violent, and chronic offending up to age 18 are each mediated by psychopathic features. Results demonstrate that a substantial portion (37%–93%) of the effects of cumulative traumatic exposure on justice system outcomes is indirect, operating through these features, even after controlling for demographic and other criminogenic risk factors. Juvenile justice policy implications are discussed.

“…In this study, we use the PCL total score as well as each of the four PCL facets. Further information regarding the PCL in the CSDD may be found elsewhere (Farrington, 2005, 2006, 2007; Piquero et al, 2012). The psychopathology domain was measured by drinking problems (driven after drinking 10 + units, heavy drinking of 40 + units in a typical week, and/or binge drinking by drinking 13 + units in one evening), drug problems (smoked marijuana and/or used another drug), and/or mental health problems (anxiety/depression based on the General Health Questionnaire; see Goldberg, 1978) at ages 32 and/or 48.…”

Can they recover? An assessment of adult adjustment problems among males in the abstainer, recovery, life-course persistent, and adolescence-limited pathways followed up to age 56 in the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development

Much research has examined Moffitt's developmental taxonomy, focusing almost exclusively on the distinction between life-course persistent and adolescence-limited offenders. Of interest, a handful of studies have identified a group of individuals whose early childhood years were marked by extensive antisocial behavior but who seemed to recover and desist (at least from severe offending) in adolescence and early adulthood. We use data from the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development to examine the adult adjustment outcomes of different groups of offenders, including a recoveries group, in late middle adulthood, offering the most comprehensive investigation of this particular group to date. Findings indicate that abstainers comprise the largest group of males followed by adolescence-limited offenders, recoveries, and life-course persistent offenders. Furthermore, the results reveal that a host of adult adjustment problems measured at ages 32 and 48 in a number of life-course domains are differentially distributed across these four offender groups. In addition, the recoveries and life-course persistent offenders often show the greatest number of adult adjustment problems relative to the adolescence-limited offenders and abstainers.

“…There is evidence of how to find violent youth, what diverts delinquents, and what it costs. Worldwide, advances in diagnosis, education, and treatment of delinquents include the longitudinal work of Farrington (, , ) at Cambridge, Moffitt () in New Zealand, Loeber and Farrington () in Pittsburg, and anti‐bullying prevention by Olweus () in Norway as well as advances in diagnosis and treatment of disorders of childhood that are associated with disruptive and antisocial conduct, as summarized by Herpertz‐Dahlmann, Konrad, and Herpertz (, ) in Germany.…”
