First sentence: Given the vast number of systematic empirical studies of antisocial behavior, using a range of effective research strategies (Hill &amp; Maughan, 2001; Loeber &amp; Farrington, 1998; Rutter, Giller, &amp; Hagell, 1998; Stuff, Breiling, &amp; Maser, 1997), it might be supposed that these should have provided a reasonably firm understanding of the causes of antisocial behavior.
