To examine the relationship between attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity in childhood and criminality in adolescence and adulthood in 89 hyperactive and 87 normal control subjects.
In this prospective study, adolescent follow-up intervals ranged from 13 to 21 years and adult follow-up ranged from 18 to 23 years. The official arrest records for all subjects were obtained.
Hyperactive subjects had significantly higher juvenile (46% versus 11%) and adult (21% versus 1%) arrest rates. Juvenile and adult incarceration rates were also significantly higher. Childhood conduct problems predicted later criminality, and serious antisocial behavior in adolescence predicted adult criminality.
Hyperactive children are at risk for both juvenile and adult criminality. The risk for becoming an adult offender is associated with conduct problems in childhood and serious antisocial behavior (repeat offending) in adolescence. Hyperactive children who do not have conduct problems are not at increased risk for later criminality.
在89名多动儿童和87名正常对照受试者中，研究儿童期多动障碍与青少年期及成年期犯罪行为之间的关系。
在这项前瞻性研究中，青少年随访时间为13至21年，成人随访时间为18至23年。获取了所有受试者的官方逮捕记录。
多动受试者的青少年（46% 对11%）和成人（21% 对1%）逮捕率显著更高。青少年和成人监禁率也显著更高。儿童期行为问题可预测后期犯罪行为，青少年期严重反社会行为可预测成年期犯罪行为。
多动儿童在青少年期和成年期都有犯罪风险。成为成年罪犯的风险与儿童期行为问题以及青少年期严重反社会行为（再次犯罪）有关。没有行为问题的多动儿童后期犯罪风险并未增加。
