Linked Lives: Antisocial Behaviour Across Three Generations. Antisocial behaviour involves about 10 per cent of children and/or adolescents. It has a substantial impact on many life outcomes including education, employment, family life, and offending.

The proposed project aims to assess antisocial behaviour transmitted acr ....Linked Lives: Antisocial Behaviour Across Three Generations. Antisocial behaviour involves about 10 per cent of children and/or adolescents. It has a substantial impact on many life outcomes including education, employment, family life, and offending. The costs of providing services to an antisocial child are 10 times higher than other children. Antisocial offspring are often children of antisocial parents and grandparents. The proposed project aims to assess antisocial behaviour transmitted across three generations, to document the predictors of this intergenerational transmission, and to describe how antisocial behaviour is changing over generations. This project aims to provide data to enable a more focussed delivery of services to antisocial families.Read moreRead less
