Answer to Question 2

Life coursepersistent offenders begin offending at a young age and continue to offend throughout their life. They will also engage in more serious and violent offenses than adolescent-limited offenders. Adolescent-limited offenders may be considered typical teenagers, who get into minor scrapes and engage in what might be considered rebellious teenage behavior with their friends. As they reach their mid-teens, adolescent-limited delinquents begin to mimic the antisocial behavior of more troubled teens, only to reduce the frequency of their offending as they mature to around age 18 . So while it may be cool for some kids to swagger around and get into trouble during their teenage years, they are ready to settle down and assume more conventional roles as they enter young adulthood.
