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.
