The authors found that juvenile violence alone did not distinguish well between those who would and would not commit violence as adults. Seventy-seven percent of the more violent and 61 percent of the less violent juveniles committed adult aggressive offenses. A constellation of certain kinds of neuropsychiatric vulnerabilities interacting with violent abusive family environments was a better predictor of adult violent crime. 3 tables, 20 references.
