註釋
In 1993 Terrie Moffitt offered a developmental taxonomy of delinquency that proposed three distinct types of juveniles: Life-course-persistent offenders, Adolescence-limited offenders, and Abstainers. Saunders tests both MoffittoOe1/4Oaos theory and the modeling methodologies and statistical software that have been used to test it. Saunders finds that group-based trajectory modeling technique is insufficient in capturing the hypothetical subpopulations specified by MoffittoOe1/4Oaos theory. Findings were mixed with respect to MoffittoOe1/4Oaos hypotheses about the development of delinquency and its causes and correlates. Saunders found that the two major risk factors for a life of sustained antisocial involvement can be collected from elementary school teachers, who can therefore identify children who could benefit from additional services."
