Using Rater Scale and Friendship Measurment Questionnaire, the incidence of conduct disorders in 881 girls and boys aged 11-14 in the south regions of London was investigated. The subjects were selected through accidental sampling method. Data showed no significant differences between the incidence of conduct disorders in girls and boys. But it seemed that the behaviour patterns of girls and boys were different. The need for re-examination of conduct disorders in adolesence with regards to sex for accurate evaluation of diagnostic criteria was emphasized .
