Question

Poor interpersonal skills, conduct disorders, and difficult temperaments are often found in the background of ________ offenders.

Answer 1

The correct answer is life-course-persistent (LCP) offenders.

LCP offenders show predispositions and early risk factors for criminal behavior from childhood itself. Such individuals are socially maladjusted with poor interpersonal skills, have poor emotional regulation skills, and might also have conduct disorders from an early age itself. LCP offenders exhibit such tendencies and criminal behavior throughout their life span.
