Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This study prospectively examines the assertion that early risk factors do not predict continuity in offending across the adolescence-adulthood transition as suggested by developmental criminology. Against such statements, psychopathy is asserted to be a pivotal risk factor for offending continuity. The study is based on a sample of 326 incarcerated youth followed through age 29. Features of psychopathy were measured during adolescence using scores from the PCL:YV and adult convictions were modeled in various ways, including latent trajectories of convictions, adjusted for exposure. The study findings provide evidence that chronic juvenile offenders and those with high psychopathy scores during adolescence are at a higher risk of being repeatedly convicted in adulthood. While the study findings showed that features of psychopathy predicted adult offending outcomes at the group level, individual-level prediction is more difficult and therefore caution should be exercised before using these findings in practical settings to make predictions about whether a specific youth will continue to offend at a particular rate in adulthood.
