What is the key distinction between Loeber and colleagues’ developmental delinquency pathway model and Howell and Egley’s developmental gang membership theory?

What will be an ideal response?


Howell and Egley’s developmental gang membership theory starts much earlier in the life course than Loeber and colleagues’ model does, allowing for risk factors starting from birth to be considered. This addition is beneficial since prior research has found that risk factors for subsequent delinquent and criminal behavior actually begin very early in the life course.
