    • Adolescence limited offenders
      • Adolescents seeking social status through delinquent behaviours
      • Less prone to use violence and their antisocial behaviour is expected to be limited to adolescence
      • Only temporarily express antisocial behaviour
    • Early-onset/Life-course offenders
      • Characterised by multiple risk factors and poor adult outcomes
      • They tend to manifest violent behaviour early in life
      • 5-10% of the population are estimated to follow this trajectory
