Title: The Effect of Childhood Conduct Disorder on Human Capital

Summary: This paper estimates the longer-term effects of childhood conduct disorder on human capital accumulation and violent and criminal behavior later in life using data of Australian twins. It measures conduct disorder with a rich set of indicators based on diagnostic criteria from psychiatry. Using ordinary least squares and twin fixed effects estimation approaches, it finds that early (pre-18) conduct disorder problems significantly affect both human capital accumulation and violent and criminal behavior over the life course. In addition, it finds that conduct disorder is more deleterious if these behaviors occur earlier in life.

Title: The Chance of a Lifetime: Preventing Early Conduct Problems and Reducing Crime

Summary: This paper examines the links between early conduct problems and subsequent offending. It makes the case for greatly increased investment in evidence-based programs to reduce the prevalence and severity of conduct problems in childhood. It shows that, in addition to improvement in the quality of life for many individuals and their families, the potential long-term benefits to society as a whole are enormous, particularly in terms of crime prevention.
