Childhood Conduct Problems, Hyperactivity-impulsivity, and Inattention as Predictors of Adult Criminal Activity / Leslie M. BABINSKI in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 40-3 (March 1999)

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 40-3 (March 1999) . - p.347-355 Titre : Childhood Conduct Problems, Hyperactivity-impulsivity, and Inattention as Predictors of Adult Criminal Activity Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Leslie M. BABINSKI, Auteur ; Carolyn S. HARTSOUGH, Auteur ; Nadine M. LAMBERT, Auteur Année de publication : 1999 Article en page(s) : p.347-355 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ADD/ADHD  conduct disorder  criminality  hyperactivity  impulsivity  longitudinal studies Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study reconsiders the relationship of childhood Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and childhood conduct problems with adult criminal activity by clarifying the role of the cardinal behaviors associated with the DSM-IV ADHD subtypes (inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity). Since their childhood (average age 9 years), 230 male and 75 female subjects have been followed prospectively and were interviewed as young adults (average age 26 at follow-up). Early childhood behavior ratings by parents and teachers were examined to determine the role of conduct problems, hyperactivity-impulsivity, and inattention in predicting adult criminal involvement as measured by both official arrest records and self-report. Results show that both hyperactivity-impulsivity and early conduct problems independently, as well as jointly, predict a greater likelihood of having an arrest record for males, but not for females. For male subjects with 10 or more self-reported crimes, both early conduct problems and hyperactivity-impulsivity were significant predictors, both alone and in combination. Therefore, it appears that predominantly the symptoms of hyperactivity-impulsivity, but not inattention, contribute to the risk for criminal involvement over and above the risk associated with early conduct problems alone.
