Overt–covert dimension refers to an independent dimension consisting of a continuum of antisocial behavior ranging from overt forms such as physical aggression at one end, to covert forms (example hidden or sneaky acts ) at the other. The overt forms of antisocial behavior correspond roughly to those on the aggressive subdimension of the externalizing dimension, whereas the covert behaviors correspond roughly to those on the delinquent subdimension of the externalizing dimension.
Overt is an investigation which is conducted openly; while covert is an investigation conducted in secret
