Currently, little research has investigated psychosocial functioning among juvenile crack dealers, and there appear to be few studies comparing dealers to nondealing juvenile offenders. The current study examined whether juvenile crack dealers display more severe conduct-disordered behavior than their nondealing delinquent peers. The records of 130 adolescent males committed to a residential training school were studied. Analyses indicated that crack dealers were younger when first arrested, had more arrests and commitments, and met more DSM-III-R conduct-disorder criteria than their nondealing delinquent peers. In addition, the DSM-III-R conduct-disorder criteria met by dealers were more severe, and dealers were more likely to be rearrested within six months following release. Overall, significant differences between crack dealers and nondealing juvenile offenders were found; dealers displayed a more delinquent history and a more serious and violent conduct disorder than their nondealing yet delinquent peers.

Conduct Disordered

This study reports on a group of adolescents with conduct disorder in a community sample. Utilizing structured interviews for the adolescents and their parents, and strict requirements for caseness, conduct disorder was found to be the most common psychiatric problem (along with anxiety disorders). Various instruments were used. The findings, including approaches to conflict resolution in adolescents and their parents, are discussed.

The Draw-A-Person test was administered to 40 conduct-disordered and 40 nonconduct-disordered children and adolescents. There were 20 boys and 20 girls, ages 10 to 16 years, in each group. Two independent judges rated the drawings for presence or absence of indicators of aggressiveness that should accompany a conduct disorder, but no significant differences were found between groups or sexes.

The Relationship

The relationship between degree of schizophrenia and neuropsychological impairment was investigated in 24 adolescent and adult hospitalized and non-hospitalized psychiatric patients with diagnoses of depressive disorder, conduct disorder, and schizophrenia. Schizophrenic adults and conduct disordered adolescents showed greater cognitive impairment than depressed patients on a neuropsychological test of rhythm perception and attention and showed greater frequency of EEG abnormality. Schizophrenics were differentiated from other groups by their impaired abstraction ability on the Halstead-Reitan Category Test. Use of these tests for prediction of adolescents at high risk for schizophrenia was discussed.

Ability And Willingness

<p>General strain theory (GST) posits that the experience of strains cause negative emotions that individuals try to alleviate through various strategies, including delinquency. GST predicts that the choice of delinquency as a coping solution will be more likely in certain conditions, including those where criminal opportunities are more abundant. The current study considers the role of strain as a direct predictor of lucrative criminal opportunities. Because we are specifically interested in lucrative, as opposed to routine criminal opportunities, our theoretical framework is also informed by research on criminal achievement which posits that offenders with more social capital are more likely to make money out of crime. Drawing from a sample of 170 juvenile offenders incarcerated in British Columbia, our results show that strain experiences are significantly associated with daily access to lucrative criminal opportunities, even after controlling for other factors, including negative emotions such as anger. Our results also indicate that criminal social capital &ndash; that is, the ability and willingness to collaborate with co-offenders in criminal pursuits &ndash; is strongly associated to access to lucrative criminal opportunities. The number of delinquent peers, however, did not emerge as a significant predictor. Theoretical and empirical implications for understanding and preventing juvenile delinquency are discussed.</p>
