Answer to Question 2

Answer: Life-course persistent offenders have antisocial behaviors that begins in childhood and continues well into adulthood. These offenders tend to be known as chronic offenders. They may also have neuropsychological problems, tend to grow up in disadvantaged neighborhoods, and suffer from inadequate parenting.

They tend to come from more advantaged social backgrounds and had parents that practiced effective parenting.
