Answer: Briefly describe the usefulness and uniqueness of your social venture Children who show substantial antisocial behaviour have poor social functioning as adults and are at high risk of social exclusion Costs are available for particular items of public service such as receiving remedial education or appearing in court

What this study adds is costs of antisocial behaviour incurred by individuals from childhood to adulthood were 10 times greater for those who were seriously antisocial in childhood than for those who were not The costs fell on a wide range of agencies Reduction of antisocial behaviour in childhood could result in large cost savings

1: What is "conduct disorder"?
1: Issues to be addressed by this social venture (or case) The term gconduct disorderh refers to a persistent and pervasive pattern of antisocial behaviour in childhood or adolescence. Typical behaviours include disobedience, tantrums, fighting, destructiveness, lying, and stealing. Conduct disorder is the commonest psychiatric disorder in childhood, with a prevalence of 7% in boys and 3% in girls(Meltzer, el.al. 2000); it is also the commonest reason for referral of children and adolescents to mental health services.
2: What are the causes and consequesnces?
2: What is the unique idea to solve the issues? Conduct disorder is strongly associated with social and educational disadvantage. It occurs four times more often in families with unskilled occupations than in professional families(Meltzer, el.al. 2000).

Reading difficulties are common, and many children leave school without qualifications or are permanently excluded.

The antisocial behaviour tends to persist—40% of 8 year olds with conduct disorder are repeatedly convicted of crimes such as theft, vandalism, and assault in adolescence(Farrington 1996).

The misuse of drugs and alcohol is widespread. Looking back, the continuity is even stronger, as 90% of repeating juvenile offenders had conduct disorder in childhood. In adulthood these individuals continue offending and have erratic employment patterns in unskilled jobs, violent relationships with partners, and few friends. They do not participate in mainstream society and remain socially excluded.

3: What are the cost of conduct disorder.
3: Revenue Model & Organization Few direct studies have looked at the economic costs of conduct disorder or its consequences. Related studies suggest that costs are high.

In the United States the cost for crimes committed by a typical juvenile delinquent (under 18) was estimated at $80000-$325000 (£56000-£232000).(Cohen1998) Between ages 19 and 24 a typical adult criminal costs a further $1.2m. Victim costs were by the far the greatest part of this total. Dropping out early from school added $243000-$388000 to age 24, heavy drug use a further $150000-$360000. Rescuing a high risk youth from this typical life path was estimated to save $1.7m-$2.3m.8

4: Inner London longitudinal study
4: Targeted Benefit & Outcome
5: Results: Costs for individuals with conduct disorder were 10.0 times higher than for those with no problems
5: Strengths and Risks of the business model By age 28, costs for individuals with conduct disorder were 10.0 times higher than for those with no problems (95% confidence interval of bootstrap ratio 3.6 to 20.9) and 3.5 times higher than for those with conduct problems (1.7 to 6.2). Mean individual total costs were £70019 for the conduct disorder group (bootstrap mean difference from no problem group £62898; £22692 to £117896) and £24324 (£16707; £6594 to £28149) for the conduct problem group, compared with £7423 for the no problem group. In all groups crime incurred the greatest cost, followed by extra educational provision, foster and residential care, and state benefits; health costs were smaller.

Parental social class had a relatively small effect on antisocial behaviour, and although substantial independent contributions came from being male, having a low reading age, and attending more than two primary schools, conduct disorder still predicted the greatest cost. Antisocial behaviour in childhood is a major predictor of how much an individual will cost society. The cost is large and falls on many agencies, yet few agencies contribute to prevention, which could be cost effective.
