All of these statements are true. The capacity for violent behavior among delinquent boys typically develops slowly over time and progresses from minor acts of aggression to more severe, violent acts. Furthermore, research has shown that overall aggression among delinquents tends to increase dramatically in early adolescence, which is a time when many boys experience hormonal changes and are exposed to new stressors and social influences. As they gain more physical strength and access to weapons, male delinquents may become even more aggressive and violent in their behavior.
