Abstract

This report from the Australian Temperament Project focuses on the transition to early adulthood; connections between antisocial behaviour and victimisation; the role of substance use in the development of adolescent antisocial behaviour; why do some low risk children become antisocial adolescents; motivations to comply with the law, attitudes, and antisocial behaviour; and concordance between official records and self-reports of offending and victimisation.
