This paper is going to compare and contrast the theories put forth from Terrie Moffitt (Dual Pathway Developmental Theory) and from Sampson & Laub (Age-Graded Developmental Theory). First we will look at what is similar in the two theories. They both are longitudinal studies, meaning that they take place with a fixed group of subjects who are monitored and data is gathered on for a specific time. The Dual Pathway Developmental Theory used data that was collected from New Zeland over the last forty-one years, and is still on going.…
