Offending behaviour in childhood is a significant predictor of subsequent offending; early intervention is more effective than that provided later. This research aimed to advance understanding of juvenile crime, its health/substance abuse patterns, cognitive correlates and offence trajectories to facilitate effective policies and reduce recidivism.
