The given description matches the diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder, which is a pattern of behavior that involves aggression towards people and animals, destruction of property, deceitfulness, theft, and violation of rules. It is typically diagnosed in childhood or adolescence and is characterized by a persistent and repetitive pattern of behavior that violates the rights of others and societal norms.
