Age of onset of offending has been consistently linked with high-rate persistent offending in various cultures, time periods, and offender types. Research has shown that individuals who begin offending at a younger age are more likely to continue offending into adulthood and to engage in more frequent and serious offending behavior. Factors such as environmental influences (e.g. exposure to violence, family dysfunction, lack of parental monitoring) and individual factors (e.g. impulsivity, inability to delay gratification, low empathy) may contribute to early onset and persistent offending. Race, social class, and home environment have also been shown to be related to offending behavior, but they are not consistently linked to high-rate persistent offending across cultures and time periods.
