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.
