Answer to Question 1

Externalizing problems are more common in boys, and for boys, these behaviors are more noticeable as a problem. The prevalence of externalizing behaviors decreases with age, whereas the prevalence of internalizing disorders increases with age. By adulthood, internalizing disorders (typically in women) are more common.

Answer to Question 2

Most of the symptoms of conduct disorder involve index offensescrimes against people or property that are illegal at any age. But conduct disorder is not identical to the concept of juvenile delinquency. A few symptoms are comparable to status offensesacts that are illegal only because of the youth's status as a minor, such as truancy from school. Adolescents who repeatedly break the law have conduct disorders whether or not they are arrested and convicted. Furthermore, one could be diagnosed with conduct disorder having never committed a crime.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
