Adaptive strategy theory systematically deals with the observation that crime is gener- ally goal-directed and occurs across cultures (see Ellis, 1990; Rowe, 1997), whereas life history theory examines social and perceptual cues for the unconscious adoption of various strategies (Hill, Ross, & Low, 1997).
Adaptive behavior also includes the ability to work, practice social skills and personal responsibility. Such behavior is also known as social competence, independent living, adaptive behavioral functioning or simply independence or life skills.
