Product Description
Why are females rarely antisocial and males antisocial so often? This is one of the key questions addressed in a fresh approach to sex differences in the causes, course and consequences of antisocial behavior. A multidisciplinary team of authors present all-new findings from the landmark Dunedin Longitudinal Study and also provide new insights into such topics as the importance of puberty, diagnostic issues in psychiatry, the problem of domestic violence and the intergenerational transmission of antisocial behavior. |

Great review of sex differences in the causes and course of antisocial behavior by Jamie C. Vaske  5 Stars
September 21, 2009
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.
