Abstract
Douma, J. C. H., & Dekker, M. C. (2007). Antisocial behaviours in youths with mild intellectual disabilities, Kind en Adolescent, 28 (3), 182-196.
In a sample of 526 11 to 24-year-olds with mild to borderline intellectual disabilities (id), we studied the prevalence, persistence and five-year predictors of five types of antisocial and delinquent behaviours (adbs, such as ‘mean to others’ ‘property destruction’, and ‘arson/theft’). Most adbs were exhibited by 10%-20% of the youths with id. These behaviours were fairly persistent over a five-year period. Boys with id engaged more often in adbs than boys without id. This was not true for girls with id (compared without id). adbs in youths with id were predominantly predicted by age (younger), sex (boy) and behavioural problems. Interventions particularly need to focus on this risk group.
Keywords: antisocial and delinquent behaviour, youths, intellectual disability.
Samenvatting
Bij 526 jongeren met lichte verstandelijke beperkingen (11-24 jaar) zijn de prevalentie, persistentie en voorspellers van vijf typen antisociale en delinquente gedragingen (adg’s) onderzocht. De meeste adg’s werden door 10-20% van de jongeren met verstandelijke beperkingen (vb) vertoond. Deze gedragingen bleken redelijk persistent gedurende een periode van vijf jaar. Vergeleken met leeftijdgenoten zonder vb vertoonden jongens, maar niet meisjes, met vb vaker adg’s. adg’s bij jongeren met een vb werden gedurende een periode van vijf jaar vooral voorspeld door leeftij d (jonger), geslacht (jongen) en het reeds eerder hebben van gedragsproblemen. Interventies zouden vooral gericht moeten zijn op deze risicogroep.
