Notwithstanding these gender - specific risk and protective factors, in most cases, the same factors — ADHD, negative temperament, impulsivity, compromised intelligence — predict antisocial behavior in both males and females, as suggested by the substantial overlap shown in figure 4.99 Although some analysts have argued the need to concentrate on the commonalities in predictors of male and female offending, it is also important to note the areas in which risk factors differ by gender.100 Even if the differences between male and female offenders are confined to only a few key areas, the differences in these areas — for example, sensitivity to victimization, timing of onset of persistent offending, prevalence of mental health problems — can be substantial and can profoundly influence the effectiveness of risk assessments and treatment programs.
