Recent research efforts have focused on understanding the developmental nature of antisocial personality disorder (APD) in order to better develop intervention strategies. This article reviews what is known about biologic and environmental risk factors for the development of APD as well as issues surrounding treatment. Insights into how these factors may work together, and issues involving approaches to researching them, are discussed. Given the impact of this disorder on the lives of the…

Is there a genetic susceptibility to engage in criminal acts

TLDR
The genetic evidence indicates that there is no single gene, or even a small number of genes, that predict an increased risk of antisocial behaviour, and where there have been some effects, the increase in risk associated with antissocial behaviour is modest.

Borderline Personality Disorder in Young People and the Prospects for Prevention and Early Intervention

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is associated with substantial psychosocial impairment, morbidity, mortality and high health resource utilization. These data make a compelling case for…

Antisocial Personality Disorder and Delinquency Treatment and Outcomes

Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is the name of the disorder as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). Antisocial (or dissocial) personality disorder is characterized by a…

TLDR
The success of MST can be attributed primarily to the match between MST intervention foci and empirically identified correlates/causes of criminality and violence in adolescents and the flexible use of well-validated intervention strategies in the natural environment.

Biosocial Bases of Aggressive Behavior in Childhood

TLDR
This chapter is concerned with links between psychophysiological and social measures taken at age 3, and aggressive behavior measured at age 11 years in a large sample of 1,795 males and females, Indian and Creole participants.

Adolescence-limited and life-course-persistent antisocial behavior: a developmental taxonomy.

TLDR
It is suggested that delinquency conceals 2 distinct categories of individuals, each with a unique natural history and etiology: a small group engages in antisocial behavior of 1 sort or another at every life stage, whereas a larger group is antisocial only during adolescence.

Sex differences in the etiology of aggressive and nonaggressive antisocial behavior: results from two twin studies.

TLDR
Bivariate analyses supported the conclusion that the etiologies of aggressive and nonaggressive antisocial behavior differ for males and females.

Genotype-environment correlations in late childhood and early adolescence: antisocial behavioral problems and coercive parenting.

TLDR
The findings showed that most of the association between negative parenting and children's externalizing behavior was not explicable on the basis of an evocative gene-environment correlation and that an additional environmentally mediated parental effect on children's behavior was plausible.

CSF 5-HIAA and family history of antisocial personality disorder in newborns.

TLDR
Findings support the possibility that serotonin mediates one component of genetic liability to antisocial outcome, but the magnitude of that component may be less than what has been inferred from previously published reports.

Prenatal exposure to wartime famine and development of antisocial personality disorder in early adulthood.

TLDR
The data suggest that severe nutritional insults to the developing brain in utero may be capable of increasing the risk for antisocial behaviors in offspring.

Multiple risk factors in the development of externalizing behavior problems: Group and individual differences

TLDR
Evidence was found that individual differences in externalizing behavior problems were stable over time and were related to individual risk factors as well as the number of risk factors present, and there were multiple clusters of risks that led to similar outcomes.

Early Behavior Problems as a Predictor of Later Peer Group Victimization: Moderators and Mediators in the Pathways of Social Risk

TLDR
Teachers' ratings of the behavioral adjustment of kindergarten and 1st-grade children predicted peer nomination scores for victimization, obtained 3 years later, even after the prediction associated with concurrent behavior problems was statistically controlled.

Fearlessness, stimulation-seeking, and large body size at age 3 years as early predispositions to childhood aggression at age 11 years.

TLDR
It is suggested that there may be a critical period in development in which biological processes influence later aggression, and the importance of early processes in the etiology of aggression is highlighted.
