The adolescent-limited delinquent is a term used to describe individuals who engage in delinquent behaviors during adolescence but typically desist from such behaviors as they transition into adulthood. These individuals are more likely to engage in offenses that are considered "typical" of adolescence such as vandalism, substance use, and petty theft. They are less likely to engage in offenses that symbolize adult privilege such as white-collar crime or political corruption.
