greater risk of CD (Loeber et al., 2009; Rowe et al., 2002). Boys and girls seem largely similar in sensitivity to psychosocial risk factors for antisocial behavior, and are also similarly exposed to potential family and environmental correlates. A number of studies indicate that boys are more exposed to individually-based risk factors however. This may in part account for their higher levels of antisocial behavior (Moffitt, Caspi, Rutter, & Silva, 2001).
