TL;DR
Physical fighting, although not a symptom of ODD, should be targeted in preventive interventions along with ODD symptoms, and low socioeconomic status of the parent, O DD, and parental substance abuse best predicted the onset of CD.
Abstract
Parental substance abuse, low socioeconomic status, and oppositional behavior are key factors in boys' progression to CD. Physical fighting, although not a symptom of ODD, should be targeted in preventive interventions along with ODD symptoms. ADHD is implicated in the early onset of CD, but not in later-onset CD.

It is suggested that delinquency conceals 2 distinct categories of individuals, each with a unique natural history and etiology: a small group engages in antisocial behavior of 1 sort or another at every life stage, whereas a larger group is antisocial only during adolescence.

The use of research criteria for diagnosing children as hyperactive identifies a pattern of behavioral symptoms that is highly stable over time and associated with considerably greater risk for family disturbance and negative academic and social outcomes in adolescence than has been previously reported.

The degree of longitudinal consistency in aggressive behavior patterns is much greater than has been maintained by proponents of a behavioral specificity position, and important determinants of the observed longitudinal consistency are to be found in relatively stable, individual-differentiating reaction tendencies or motive systems within individuals.

The results indicate that the greatest risk factor for the development of antisocial behavior and drug abuse is the maintenance of ADDH symptoms, which followed the onset of conduct disorder in the overwhelming majority of cases.

Results indicate that the aggression scales which include only a few physical aggression items and many disruptive items probably aggregate two kinds of disruptive boys, the highfrequency fighters at high risk for stable disruptive, physically aggressive, and antisocial behaviors, and the disruptive low-frequency fighters who are at a lower risk of stable disruptive behavior and at a higher risk of early antisocial behavior.

Findings suggest that ADD with and without antisocial disorders may be aetiologically distinct disorders, and are consistent with a multifactorial hypothesis in which ADD, ADD + OPD and ADD + CD fall along a continuum of increasing levels of familial aetiological factors and, correspondingly, severity of illness.
