Antisocial

Antisocial behaviour in children and adolescents involves persistent disregard for social norms and the rights of others, ranging from defiance and aggression to more serious rule-breaking and criminal activities. Early-onset antisocial behaviour (before age 10) is associated with more severe outcomes and a higher risk of persistent antisocial behaviour into adulthood. Effective interventions for antisocial behaviour in youth often involve multisystemic approaches addressing family dynamics, peer influences, and individual risk factors.
