A recent genome-wide analysis of anti-social behavior in a large combined sample has shown that a large number of genetic variants of low individual effect play a role in anti-social behavior.
Socioeconomic status is often assumed to be of importance for the development of antisocial behavior, yet it explains only a fraction of the variance. One explanation for this paradox could be that socioeconomic status moderates the influence of genetic and environmental effects on antisocial behavior.
An individual’s age at intervention is a strong predictor of the effectiveness of a given treatment. The specific kinds of anti-social behaviors exhibited, as well as the magnitude of those behaviors also impact how effective a treatment is for an individual.
