Abstract

This study examines the association between adolescent callous-unemotional (CU) traits and peer and parental relationship quality, and also explores the effects of relationship quality on offending behavior. Results indicate that high-CU youth report lower quality peer and maternal relationships. Further, positive relationships protect against offending among high-CU youth.
