ATTENTION-DEFICIT/HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER IN CHILDHOOD AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE INVOLVEMENT IN YOUNG ADULTHOOD: A PROSPECTIVE U.S. COHORT STUDY.
— STAFF
This is a prospective, population-based confirmation of an association forensic practitioners already assume — ADHD in childhood predicts later justice involvement — and it supplies a citable effect size for that background claim in developmental and sentencing-mitigation contexts. It does not change any evaluation method, any report assertion, or any clinician obligation: the finding is contextual epidemiology, with observational confounding that precludes causal or preventive inference at the individual level.
