Abstract
Youth who witness abuse in the home are more likely to experience various maladaptive outcomes. We conducted a multiple regression analysis using data from the Pathways to Desistance Study; results showed that youth psychopathic traits were a significant mediator on the relationship between witnessing interparental conflict and perpetrating aggressive offenses.
