Two-Path-Theory (Moffitt)
Two-Path Theory, developed by Terrie E. Moffitt, distinguishes between two distinct developmental trajectories of antisocial behavior: adolescence-limited offending and life-course persistent offending. This theory is based on longitudinal research, notably the Dunedin Study in New Zealand, which tracked the behavior of 1,000 individuals over time to uncover different patterns of offending across the life course.
