Adolescence-limited offenders

A) compose approximately 25% of adolescents
B) experience few developmental risk factors, such as punitive parenting
C) usually show an onset of antisocial behavior in preadolescence
D) are characterized by the display of violent offenses

Adolescence-limited offenders are individuals who engage in delinquent behavior only during their teenage years and do not continue into adulthood. They do not typically have a history of antisocial behavior in childhood or any significant developmental risk factors, such as punitive parenting. The majority of adolescence-limited offenders engage in minor delinquent behavior, such as skipping school or minor theft, rather than violent offenses. Approximately 60-70% of adolescents fall into this category. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
