If you need a study to understand people committing violent crimes at a young age are more likely to commit violent crime at a later age.   Well man.  I don’t know what to tell you.   I would google it.  There are prolly tons.  But for now I’m gonna not do that 

Charming attempt to retcon the conversation. You do need a study if you are going to reference statistics meaningfully. Just admit a semantic error and move on.

Abstract

Purpose

Age of onset is one of the strongest predictors of long-term, continuous offending, with the prognosis worsening with an earlier start. In and of itself, onset age is just a marker and not a mechanism affecting behavioral trajectories. In this study, we examine the direct and mediated relationship between age of onset and other individual and social influences as they jointly affect long-term offending trajectories.

Methods

This study utilizes longitudinal data from the Pathways to Desistance Study of serious young offenders in two major US cities (n = 792). Latent class growth models are estimated, and then, the direct and mediated impact of onset age in explaining variation in those trends is tested.

Results

A four class model provides the best fit to the data. Analyses indicate that most of the potential mediators do help to predict most likely class membership. After accounting for the mediation process, onset age maintains its significant direct effect on class membership for only the low, no offending class, and there are significant indirect effects present in the other models.

Conclusions

The findings support a mixed perspective on continuity in offending: age of onset seems to be a marker for high delinquent propensity and related choices (e.g., association with delinquent peers), which reflects a population heterogeneity perspective, but it also may be an early link in a chain of causal mechanisms that increases the likelihood of becoming a serious long-term offender (i.e., state dependence).

Oh wow! my claim that studies don't exist has been debunked!

I don't care if he hit a 16 year old. It's two high school kids. Anyone saying otherwise is not being fair to the situation. They're both in high school. Law says otherwise, I don't care. It's just a fight. People make too big if a deal out of fight. Nobody got very hurt. This whole thing is dumb.

Charging him was dumb.   DQ’ing him for the postseason wasn’t.

Instead he jumped into the stands and assaulted a minor.  A blatant violation of the rules that cost him a 4th state title.  
 

I’ll bet he has a violent outburst down the road in college as well.   His role model has dui and fighting arrests so it’s prolly not a huge secret where he gets it from. 

Who are you referring to as his role model?

 

Also in his only HS loss, he wanted to fight that kid after the match, following him around and challenging him to a fight.  

 

He will do well at Rutgers and if he loses in college, I think it will get very physical.

I guess everyone loses but he won't lose very often.  

 

Yes I think he will make any loses personal and then avenge them.

His father has arrests for both dui and fighting in public (prior to this)

If Aj Ferrari did this in high school would the public react differently?

statistically speaking kids that behave  this way in high school have a higher % chance of going to prison 

Did you just make up a statistic? Do you think Anthony Knox is going to end up in prison?

Kids get in fights. It's normal. No, I would not care if AJ Ferrari got in a fight in high school. Did you not get into a fight in high school?

Did I put a number next to the %.   Then answer that on you own

No its not normal.  Vast majority dont get in fights.

Sorry, you made up a fun fact. 

You think people guilty of assault in high school do not have a a higher % chance to offend Later in life vs people with no convictions and good parents?  
 

this Especially with a drunk driving, public fighting father of a role model?   Are you 14?

Do you think Anthony Knox will end up in prison?

And why are we bringing his parents into this? 

I'm not 14, but I guess I'm just a trashy person to think kids get in fights and it shouldn't be police matter.

I’ve no idea.  I only said someone convicted of what he was convicted of has a higher % chance of re offending later in life than someone who wasn’t.   
 

do you think he will?   Where do you think they (father / son) learned how to assault someone in the prone position after already losing the fight?   Do you think parents with multiple awful arrests… that their kids are more likely to follow that path than not ?   Are you from Jersey?   Do u know snookie?   Do you know the pinto?

Boy I’m going to complicate this even more because I too think kids get in fights and police can be left out of it (as a general rule). But I also think he’s certainly at a higher risk of being an offender of either a driving or physical related offense in his future because it’s seemingly been normalized in his life. Then again he could look at his dad and say my dads a drunk anger riddled little man and I gotta stick up for him but not following the same path…he’s from Jersey though so ayyy yooo!

Convicted of disorderly conduct. 

This is just gross talking about him and his parents like this. His dad is likely current or former issues with alcohol. Just because Anthony got in a fight doesn't mean you need to dump all this stuff on his name over it. What else has Anthony done? 

And I'm far from NJ.

I have no idea, but when they did the Flo video thing and basically didn’t show any remorse that wasn’t a good look IMO

Well he jumped in the stands and helped assault a minor for starters.    Is that a start or no?   Is that role model behavior?  I dunno.

I think failing to apologize made everything worse and is why it's being pursued for so long.  

I am not sure why a lawyer didn't advise that - and I think early on he denied punching someone entirely

I have already said I could care less if the kid was under 18. He hit a kid engaged in a fight around his dad. When you're hitting people, you can expect to get hit too. Is it role model behavior? My understanding, his dad entered the stands to confront some disrespectful fans and got pushed down the stands. Punches were being thrown and he got in on it.

Disrespectful fans lol …. You don’t need to enter the stands to confront them.   There is that role model behavior again.
