Male antisocial behavior is concentrated in the adolescent period of the life course, as documented by the curve of crime over age. This article reviews recent evidence regarding the hypothesis that the age-crime curve conceals two groups with different causes. Life-course persistent males show extreme, pervasive, persistent antisocial behavior from early childhood to adulthood. They are hypothesized to be rare, with pathological risk factors and poor life outcomes. In contrast, adolescence-limited males show similar levels of antisocial behavior but primarily during the adolescent stage of development. They are hypothesized to be common and normative, whereas abstainers from offending are rare. This article recaps the taxonomy's 25-year history, concluding that it is standing the test of time in research, and making an impact on policy in early-years prevention and juvenile justice. Research is needed into how the taxonomy relates to neuroscience, health, genetics, and changes in modern crime, including digital crime.

青春期及以后的男性反社会行为。

犯罪随年龄变化的曲线表明，男性反社会行为集中在生命历程的青少年时期。本文回顾了有关年龄犯罪曲线掩盖了具有不同原因的两个群体这一假设的最新证据。一生中持续存在的男性从幼儿期到成年期都表现出极端、普遍、持续的反社会行为。据推测，它们很罕见，具有病理危险因素和不良的生活结果。相比之下，青春期受限的男性表现出类似水平的反社会行为，但主要是在青春期发育阶段。假设它们是常见且规范的，而戒除犯罪的人很少见。本文回顾了该分类学 25 年的历史，得出的结论是它在研究中经受住了时间的考验，并对早期预防和少年司法方面的政策产生了影响。需要研究分类法与神经科学、健康、遗传学和现代犯罪（包括数字犯罪）变化的关系。
