Abstract

Antisocial behavior can be categorized as persistent (when  started in childhood and  continues during adulthood) and transient (when they are restricted to  development stage, in general, adolescence). The main purpose of this study was to review studies that present empirical evidence supporting the typological model  of Moffitt (1993), which proposes an analysis  that make it possible to differentiate between transient and persistent antisocial behavior. The search performed using  PsycINFO database identified 162 studies related to theme, but only 14 were in this review. The findings suggest that transient antisocial behavior in adolescence may be a result of lack of maturity, especially among peers, and of a perceived difference between body growth and psychological and social maturity. On the other hand, persistent antisocial behavior has its origin in childhood due to the multiple variations  that can contribute to the development of these behaviors (family violence, school problems, neurological  etc.). It is believed that the earlier the persistent antisocial behaviors are identified the bigger are the chances to obtain successful results in the actions and therapeutic interventions.
