The two groups are compared on behavioral factors (e.g. conduct disorder, psychopathy, cruel to people, suspended from school), individual factors (e.g. hyperactivity, attention deficit, low guilt, low achievement), family factors (e.g. young mother, poor parental supervision, mother's physical punishment, unhappy parents, large family size, broken family), socioeconomic factors (e.g. low SES, family on welfare, unemployed parent), peer delinquency, and bad neighborhood. |
