Emotion-specific amygdala habituation in treatment-referred young adults with antisocial histories: links with internalizing and externalizing symptoms and future recidivism.

Although this pattern did not reach statistical significance and thus should be interpreted with caution, it is worth noting that the observed trend is consistent with psychological and criminological theories that indicate that co-occurring internalizing problems may drive early risk of recidivism by worsening existing vulnerabilities related to externalizing problems ( Sampson and Laub, 1997 ), but reduce later risk through disengagement or withdrawal associated with increased maturation and anxiety ( Bersani and Doherty, 2018 ; Monahan et al., 2009 , 2013 ).
