TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Using developmental science to reorient our thinking about criminal offending in adolescence JO - Journal of research in crime and delinquency A1 - Mulvey, Edward P. SP - 467 EP - 479 VL - 51 IS - 4 N2 - The concept of adolescent development has become a relevant consideration for researchers interested in juvenile delinquency. However, the integration of constructs from developmental psychology into delinquency research is still in its early stages. This article argues that it is time to move beyond description of adolescent antisocial activities and to integrate developmental activities into delinquency research as mediators or moderators. Relevant examples of such an approach are presented.
