Adverse childhood experiences and delinquency: Does age of assessment matter?

Abstract: Although a growing body of literature has documented the relationship between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and delinquency, these studies vary widely in the age ranges used to assess the accumulation of ACEs. This poses drawbacks to our understanding of the link between ACEs and delinquency and undermines scholars' ability to compare findings across studies.
