There is a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others occurring since age 15 years, as indicated by three (or more) of the following:

  • failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest

  • deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure

  • impulsivity or failure to plan ahead

  • irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults

  • reckless disregard for safety of self or others

  • consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations

  • lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another
