Children differ in a variety of ways and behave differently in different situations. Amongst various disorders a common form of disorder is "Conduct Disorder". The most important features of these behaviours are the repetitive and persistent pattern. With these behaviours the basic rights of others are violated and major age appropriate social norms or rules are violated. The conduct disordered behaviour falls into four major groupings according to DSM-IV. They are aggressive behaviours that cause physical harm to humans as well as animals; non-aggressive behaviours that cause property loss or damage; deceitfulness or theft and; violation of major rules. The present paper tries to study the attitude of the conduct disordered children towards their academic performance. The study is conducted on 20 children who were diagnosed as having conduct disorder by clinical psychologists. The results show that the conduct disordered children find it difficult to go with the pace of the class and lack certain skills that enable them to live in harmony with the society. It is to be seen that if proper interventions are given to the conduct disordered children particularly in the younger ages, it may help them to be academically better thereby, help them desist from doing anything wrong.Keywords

Crime has been taking place since time immemorial. The most common definition about "Criminal Behaviour" is that it portrays any behaviour that goes against or violates law, whether the offender is caught or not. Likewise a criminal is an individual who commits an act that violates the strict rules and regulations of the society, thereby harming or not harming another individual, property and so on intentionally or unintentionally. The various causes that lead to a crime to take place are neurological deformities, genetic trait, situational factors, and uncomfortable bad experiences undergone in childhood such as sexual abuse, physical abuse, and emotional abuse and so on. These are nothing but various forms of child abuse that violate a child's right to live a happy life. All the victims may not experience in the same way. It is usually seen that majority of these individuals take along these experiences to their adulthood in a complex manner. Sexual abuse is studied in depth in the present study. This paper attempts to find out whether these nightmare experiences make the victim become an offender himself. On conducting regular semi structured interviews with prisoners housed in various prisons of Kerala, mainly focusing on rape offenders, paedophiles and child abusers the investigators were able to see that most of the offenders had gone through sexual abuse in their childhood, being un-intervened and that had changed their lives drastically. Most of the offenders kept coming back for the same type of offense, time and again. Some psychological factors like rejection sensitivity and attachment patterns are identified as intervening variables. The details are discussed in the paper.Keywords
