“…The ESYTC study found a similar pattern whereby at age 13 similar proportions of girls and boys were gang members (note that this was based on self-defined gangs), but at older ages, membership was consistently higher among boys. The study also found that as the definition is narrowed to include structural features, prevalence is considerably higher in males than females (Smith and Bradshaw, 2005). Other self-report studies have also found a high percentage of girls in gangs (Communities that Care, 2005;Esbensen and Huizinga, 1993)].…”

“…The final criterion, relating to structural features, has been identified in other research (Winfree et al, 1994;Esbensen et al, 2001;Smith and Bradshaw, 2005;Communities That Care, 2005). 9 An analysis to look at the impact of using various criteria on prevalence and on group behaviour was conducted.…”

“…Both suggest a higher participation rate in crime for gang members. First the Edinburgh Study of Youth Transitions and Crime (Bradshaw and Smith, 2005) examines levels of gang membership and links with offending among young people at three stages -when they were 13, 16 and 17 years old. This study found that gang members have a higher participation rate in delinquency than non-gang members.…”

“…Analyses focus on the conduct problems scale. In addition, the SDQ has a Psychopathy scale (need help on filling this in; is this The Self-Report Delinquency instrument (Mcara, 2005;Smith, 2003) is a widely-used measure assessing adolescent reports of antisocial acts at home (6 questions, e.g., staying out late) and at school (10 questions, e.g., skipping school) plus substance abuse (8 questions). In the current paper we focus on the delinquency volume scale, which provides a broad index of selfreported delinquent acts across setting.…”

King's College LondonChildren and adolescents with callous-unemotional (CU) traits have been distinguished as a subset of individuals with disruptive behavioral disorders who may be less sensitive to parenting influence; we test this hypothesis using multiple methods and assessment paradigms. Two hundred seventy-one adolescents (mean age ϭ 12.6 years) from 3 samples at elevated risk for disruptive behavior disorders were studied. Symptoms of CU behavior were derived from standard questionnaire; assessments of behavioral adjustment were derived from clinical interview with parent, and parent-report, teacher-report, and self-report questionnaire. Parent-child relationship quality was based on observational assessments in which adolescent and parent behaviors were rated in 3 interaction tasks: (a) low conflict planning task; (b) problem-solving conflict task; (c) puzzle challenge task; parent interview and parent-report and child-report questionnaires of parenting were also assessed. Results indicated that the associations between parent-child relationship quality and behavioral adjustment were comparable in adolescents with and without CU traits. More notably, observational data indicated that adolescents with elevated CU traits showed comparatively greater within-individual variability in observed angry/irritable behavior across interaction tasks, suggesting greater sensitivity to and emotional dysregulation in challenging interpersonal contexts. The findings suggest that adolescents with CU are not less sensitive to parental influence and may in contrast show greater context-sensitive disturbances in emotional regulation. The results have implications for family-based assessment and treatment for adolescents with disruptive behavior disorders.

“…Alongside measurement issues associated with secondary data, established concerns surrounding self-reports (see Thornberry and Krohn 2000;McVie 2003 andPudney 2006 for issues concerning the OCJS in particular), and the underreporting of alcohol use using survey measures and associated underestimation of alcohol-related harms (Goddard 2001;Bellis et al 2009), there remain concerns associated with missing data and attrition. Overall, attrition rates were relatively low and panel response rates ranged between 82 and 85%.…”

This study examines the extent to which variation in violent behaviour can be explained by variation in drinking patterns in late adolescence and early adulthood using panel data of regular drinkers aged between 16 and 29 in England and Wales. Multi-level models explore individuals propensity to commit assault controlling for their drinking behaviour. Results suggest that males and younger people are more likely to commit assault offences and that around 60% of the variation in assault is between people; the remainder being within people between observations. Heavy episodic drinking is a significant predictor of assault in all models. Collectively, the findings point to a periodic association between drinking patterns and violent outcomes, supporting evidence of other forms of contemporaneous association.
