American-British psychologist and criminologist known for her 1993 developmental taxonomy of antisocial behavior, which distinguishes life-course-persistent offenders, whose antisocial conduct begins in early childhood and continues into adulthood, from adolescence-limited offenders, whose offending is confined to the teenage years. The taxonomy has become a standard framework in developmental and life-course criminology.
