Aggression has functional benefits to those who use it http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=a7xuxi3mqym. A significant proportion of delinquent behavior is thought to be caused by adolescents. Moffitt suggests that delinquency may be the result of late teens trying to enter the world of adults by committing adult acts. Harris suggests that delinquency is the result of trying to establish an identity uinque from mainstream adult society. Having sex, drinking alcohol, teenagers do this because they think these are adult like activities- but they do this also because they want to differentiate adult world (you don"t see adults partying with keggers) Daly & wilson believe that it is yms, or young male syndrome. Young men compete with each other to gain status. Status allows men to get more/better mates. Status plays a big part in situations (spills beer on another guy, guy kills him)
