According to T. Ragan and M. Beaver (2009) ‘’A wealth of research has
revealed that the most chronic, violent offenders display an early age of
criminal onset (DeLisi, 2005). For example, DeLisi (2006) reported that
offenders who were first arrested at the age of 14 or 15 were more likely to
commit violent crimes than those who were first arrested after the age of 15’’
(p.176). Anti-Social personality disorder can create a lot of criminological
and psychologically issues. By living in an illegal system from an early age,
it can affect a lot the direction of the consumer future. A lot of study
support the fact that frequent marijuana consumption can relate to a bigger
drug and then increase the chances of being involve in violent act. Again, the
impact of the social environment is important on marijuana consumers, a lot of
consumers pretend to have deviant peers, family dysfunctions or another social
problem. Also, youth with more permissive parents were more likely to consume
marijuana and these people reported themselves having lower self-control. To
conclude, they mostly found that the social environment really affect a person
decision to take marijuana, and then it is a big circle that affect them to
have lower self-control in their lives.
