Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that children who are highly aggressive are more likely than less aggressive children to commit criminal offenses when they get older. This is because aggressive behavior in childhood can lead to a lack of social skills and difficulty controlling emotions, which can carry over into adulthood and result in criminal behavior. Gender is not a significant factor in the likelihood of aggression or future criminal behavior. While some children may outgrow their aggressiveness, it is not a consistent trend and cannot be relied upon as a solution.
