TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Longitudinal correlates of arrest status among at-risk males JO - Journal of child and family studies A1 - Walker, Hill M. A1 - Stieber, Steve A1 - Bullis, Michael SP - 289 EP - 309 VL - 6 IS - 3 N2 - We examined the longitudinal adjustment, from grade 4 to grade 11, of a sample ( n = 76) of boys judged to be at-risk for developing antisocial behavior patterns. We also examined subgroups of the sample differentiated by risk status and arrest records at grade 11. Antisocial behavior patterns exhibited by these boys demonstrated considerable stability over time. Differences were noted among high and lower-risk groups who were and were not arrested. In particular, measures of academic and social skills dimensions were related to better overall adjustment as indicated by lower arrest rates. Implications of these results for intervention are presented.
