School Behavioral Profiles of Arrested versus Nonarrested Adolescents.

Walker, Hill M.; And Others

Exceptionality: A Research Journal, v1 n4 p249-65 1990

Fifth grade social behavioral profiles of 75 arrested and nonarrested adolescent boys were assessed to determine their ability to predict the later arrest status of the boys in grades 5-7. Using such measures as teacher ratings of social skills and observations of negative aggressive behavior, 75 percent of subsequently arrested subjects were correctly classified. (Author/JDD)
