Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

David's early onset of negative and aggressive behaviors, as well as engagement in petty theft, indicate a higher risk for leading a life-course pattern of aggression and criminality. This is supported by research on early-onset delinquency. Jason's later onset of antisocial behavior may have a lower risk, but it's not as clear-cut as David's case. Therefore, option C is the most likely possibility.
