In this unit you learned that certain static factors such as age, gender, race and behavioral history can help predict whether a person will engage in use of illegal drugs, and/or commit criminal acts.

Based on the information you have learned, discuss the following question in your initial post: What effect, if any, does a juvenile’s early development have on the likelihood that they will engage in drug abuse and crime when they are older adolescents or adults? Consider and discuss factors such as early onset of drug use, juvenile delinquency, behavior problems, pre or early teen cigarette smoking, and anti-social behavior in your response.
