AB A total of 171 children admitted to a psychiatric inpatient unit before age 13 were examined, between 1967 and 1980, using criminal offences between age 17 and 25 years as the main studied outcome. A retrospective cohort analytic design was employed using current classification systems. The children were followed up to the age of 25. About half of the males and a quarter of the females had received at least one standard list conviction by that time. Linear-logistic modelling was used on boys and girls separately to explore childhood variables which were predictive of adult criminality. The important variables for boys were: large family size, parental criminality and a diagnosis of conduct disorder, and for girls were: having been in care prior to admission, parental criminality and a diagnosis of conduct disorder. The use of ICD-10 diagnoses, the study of females and the investigation of a high-risk population were particular features of this study. Copyright Ř 1998 Whurr Publishers Ltd
