Associations between the severity of early female antisocial behavior (including both drug and non-drug related offenses) and the later behavioral and emotional health of the children of these women were examined among 1,428 mother-child pairs of the NLSY. Multiple linear regression procedures found a significant positive relationship between the severity of the mothers' early non-drug related offenses and the later severity of the children's antisocial, anxious/depressed, hyperactive, immature dependency, headstrong, peer conflict/social withdrawal, and total problem scores.
