Antisocial behaviour is described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) as behaviours that demonstrate a disregard for or the violation of social norms. The age–crime curve model states that engagement in antisocial and risk-taking behaviours is prevalent during adolescence; however, further research is required to explore the applicability of this model for a selection of behaviours. A convenience sample (n = 393) was used to explore adult’s retrospective profiles of engagement using the Antisocial Engagement Questionnaire. The initial ages of engagement for 45 antisocial and risk-taking behaviours in an Australian sample were recorded (overall mean age = 17.01, SD = 2.51) and evidence for the age–crime curve model documented. Significant differences were found between the mean initial ages with antisocial behaviours occurring earlier than substance-related behaviours. Prevalence rates of engagement within the sample were also documented which were used to explore repeat offending and compared with previously recorded rates of engagement. As will be discussed, these findings are important for practitioners and researchers, in addition to informing the development of interventions, and the allocation of resources.

在澳大利亚人口中屡犯:参与反社会行为和冒险行为的概况

反社会行为在《精神疾病诊断和统计手册》(DSM-5)中被描述为表明无视或违反社会规范的行为。年龄-犯罪曲线模型指出,青少年时期反社会行为和冒险行为的参与很普遍。然而,需要进一步的研究来探索该模型对某些行为的适用性。 使用“反社会参与调查表”,使用便利样本(n = 393)来探讨成年人的回顾性参与情况。记录了澳大利亚样本中45种反社会行为和冒险行为的初始参与年龄(总体平均年龄= 17.01,SD = 2.51),并记录了年龄-犯罪曲线模型的证据。发现平均平均年龄与反物质行为比物质相关行为更早发生之间存在显着差异。还记录了样本中的参与率,用于探究重复犯罪并将其与先前记录的参与率进行比较。就像将要讨论的那样,这些发现对于从业者和研究者来说很重要,除了可以告知干预措施的发展和资源的分配。
