Abstract

It has long been observed that ADHD in youth is a risk factor for delinquency, law breaking, and criminal behavior. For example, youths with ADHD have 2-fold higher rates of driver-related problems such as traffic violations for speeding and recklessness, and motor vehicle accidents. Impulsive decision-making and risk-taking behaviors also predispose this population to involvement with the criminal justice system. Antisocial acts, arrests, and incarceration are highly prevalent in this population.
