Abstract
Adolescent antisocial behaviour is an issue of major concern to parents, teachers, police and governments and is a significant cost to the community. As not all antisocial behaviour is recorded by police, it is valuable to measure adolescents' own reports of their involvement in such behaviour. Better understanding of these behaviours can contribute to the development of prevention approaches.This paper, based on a collaborative research project between the Australian Institute of Family Studies and Crime Prevention Victoria, analyses data from a large longitudinal study of Victorian children, the Australian Temperament Project. It focuses on the types and extent of antisocial behaviour at ages 13-14, 15-16 and 17-18 years and explores differing across-time patterns of such behaviour from early to late adolescence.
