From young victim to perpetrator
Published in Panos Vostanis, Helping Children and Young People Who Experience Trauma, 2021
In England there are just under a quarter of a million arrests of young people annually, or 17% of all arrests, although this group constitutes ‘only’ 11% of the population – that is, there is an over-representation of adolescents in crime incidents. Each year, 45 000 enter the system for the first time. The most common offences are violence against the person, including common assault; robbery; burglary or other types of theft; criminal damage; and public order offences often referred to as antisocial behaviour, or acting persistently through property damage, verbal abuse or harassment.

Figure 15.1 depicts an application of a MIMIC model to estimate the influence of SNPs on a latent antisocial behavior variable [9]. Antisocial behavior is hypothesized to influence multiple observed questionnaire items assessing behavioral and mental health issues (i.e. levels of aggression, lying, violate the law, substance abuse, depression and anxiety). The regression of the latent variable on each SNP is estimated using a single parameter.

In addition to psychosocial treatment, new antipsychotic agents are suggested as adjunct therapy in the treatment of aggressive and antisocial behavior in adolescents. Some recommendations have been published, awaiting controlled studies [48].

As an example, one of the patterns evident in the descriptions of a preferred therapist was one characterized by low agreeableness and conscientiousness and high neuroticism. This pattern of traits is also associated with the profiles of those with externalizing and antisocial behavior (see Jones et al., 2011, for a meta-analytic review). Those with externalizing traits may be at a higher risk of personality mismatch in psychotherapy, since psychotherapists typically demonstrate the opposite personality style (i.e., the warm and emotionally stable pattern observed in this study; Peter et al., 2017). Further, those with externalizing disorders demonstrate lower treatment engagement and higher rates of dropout (e.g., Durbeej et al., 2014; Van Damme et al., 2015). It is possible that this trend may relate in part to preferences of a similar therapist which cannot be accommodated and, thus, difficulties with a mismatched therapist. In order to address this mismatch, a therapist may consider utilizing this information to build an alliance such as by discussing implications of personality differences directly with clients.

A list of sixteen behaviors gleaned from the literature regarding antisocial behavior (stealing money, stealing objects, drug dealing, brawls, physical cruelty to animals, using weapons, fraud, vandalism, trespassing, threats, arson, sexual offenses, other behaviors liable to arrest) and risk behavior (unprotected sexual relations, dangerous driving, exchanging syringes) implemented during the past year were used (Howard et al., 2010). To evaluate social life, three items were chosen by the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimet et al., 1988). As regards social and recreational activities, the monthly frequency with which interviewees dedicate time to their interests during leisure time was investigated (Sander et al., 1999). Positive identity was evaluated with an indicator from the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale to investigate the interviewee’s self-satisfaction (Rosenberg, 1965).

The Subtypes of Antisocial Behavior Questionnaire (STAB; Burt & Donnellan, 2009) is a 32-item self-report questionnaire measuring three subtypes of antisocial behavior, namely physical aggression (e.g., physically attacking others and bullying; 10 items), social aggression (i.e., indirect or relational aggression; 11 items), and rule-breaking (e.g., lying, vandalism; 11 items). The items can be scored on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (never) to 5 (nearly all the time). Higher scores on the STAB indicate a greater tendency to engage in antisocial behavior. The Dutch translation of the STAB was used in this study (Sijtsema, Lindenberg, Ojanen, & Salmivalli, 2017). Internal consistency (α) of the STAB can be considered satisfactory (>.77; Burt & Donnellan, 2009; Sijtsema et al., 2018).
