Abstract
The search for an understanding of the phenomenon of youthful antisocial behavior is motivated in part by a natural curiosity about a significant social issue. This search is also motivated, though, by recognition that our prevention and treatment efforts will be successful to the extent that they are based on accurate knowledge of the conditions contributing to these behaviors. The material in this chapter will demonstrate that significant theoretical and empirical advances are being made in developing this knowledge. It is necessary, though, to begin by introducing some concepts that will be used in this book to translate this knowledge into practical applications.
