It's a small random longitudinal study but that's my finding.

I'm speaking more along the lines of one-off serious incidents (involving serious injury or death that would result in a lengthy juvenile detention spell). Kids who are just generally highly aggressive usually come from aggressive homes, and that very sadly is something that is often passed down through the generations. It takes a LOT for a bully to end up with a non-custodial charge of any kind beyond a warning, let alone prison.
