Multi Problem Youth and an Age-Graded Integrated
Theory of Childhood Underdevelopment
Johannes Wheeldon
School of Criminology
Simon Fraser University
Abstract: While youth crime is becoming more violent and serious as youth begin a life a crime at an earlier age, there appears no consensus among the researchers about why and how youth become involved in criminal behavior. Multi problem youth present a new challenge both in terms of conceptualizing the problem, and in providing criminal justice practitioners useful and effective ways to respond. This paper provides an age graded integrated theory of child underdevelopment to better understand the phenomena of multi problem youth and to serve as a basis for early intervention programs to assist youth and better protect communities.
Key Words: Multi problem youth, life course criminology, theory integration, age graded theory, FASD, attachment theory, social learning and moral development.

Abstract: While youth crime is becoming more violent and serious as youth begin a life a
crime at an earlier age, there appears no consensus among the researchers about why
and how youth become involved in criminal behavior. Multi problem youth present a new
challenge both in terms of conceptualizing the problem, and in providing criminal justice
practitioners useful and effective ways to respond. This paper provides an age graded
integrated theory of child underdevelopment to better understand the phenomena of multi
problem youth and to serve as a basis for early intervention programs to assist youth and
better protect communities.
