Chronic adult offenders commonly begin their criminal careers as chronic 3;”
juvenile offenders (Lynam, 1996; see also Loeber & Stouthamer-Loeber, 1998). l
Ideally, intervention strategies for criminal behavior should be initiated early,
before violent and criminal behavior becomes a stable part of an individual’s
repertoire. One method of intervening in treating or preventing chronic juvenile _ I
delinquency is through the school (Durlak, 1995; Lane & Murakami, 1987). This , =§, Ii I ‘ p
strategy may be effective for a number of reasons I; 1
