Conduct Disorder and Offending Behaviour in Young
People: Findings from Research*
Kristin Liabø and Joanna Richardson 2007
Offending behaviour in young people is a problem not only for

for the young people involved. This book reviews the

designed for use with adolescent conduct disorder and young
offenders. The authors also provide an overview of the condition
including its developmental pathway; the criteria for diagnosing
conduct disorder, and services for adolescents.
Note: The appraisals for the studies used in ‘Conduct Disorder
and Offending Behaviour in Young People’ will be available shortly.
