Review
"...the book is a pleasure to read." Psychological Medicine
"A particularly attractive feature is a succinct summary of the findings at the end of each chapter and a list of related questions that remain for investigators to address. Anyone researching into or developing policies for antisocial children should have access to this book. Clinicians will also find it of great value. The findings will be quoted for many years to come." European Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great review of sex differences in the causes and course of antisocial behavior,
This review is from: Sex Differences in Antisocial Behaviour: Conduct Disorder, Delinquency, and Violence in the Dunedin Longitudinal Study (Cambridge Studies in Criminology) (Paperback)
This is a well written, detailed book that covers gender differences in the course of antisocial behavior from early childhood to early adulthood. It also does an excellent job of examining whether there are gender differences in the predictors of antisocial behavior, as well as the consequences of antisocial behavior. I routinely use this book for a "Women and Crime" class I teach, instead of using feminist grounded books. This book provides an objective view of gender and antisocial behavior, rather than the traditional subjective/ideological perspective you find in other books on gender and antisocial behavior. This is definately a must read for anyone who is interested in gender and antisocial behavior.
