Psychopathy and the prospective prediction of adult offending through age 29: Revisiting unfulfilled promises of developmental criminology

Journal of Criminal Justice, 2022, vol. 80, issue C

Abstract: This study prospectively examines the assertion that early risk factors do not predict continuity in offending across the adolescence-adulthood transition as suggested by developmental criminology. Against such statements, psychopathy is asserted to be a pivotal risk factor for offending continuity.
