LCP study members had, on average, significantly more criminal convictions than those on the low-conduct problem (LCP: 4.2 vs. Low: 0.1), childhood-limited (0.5), and adolescent-onset (0.9) pathways (see Table 1). Study members on the LCP pathway comprised only 9.0% of the cohort, but they accounted for 50.4% of the group’s total convictions (see Figure 2).
