SPRINGERBRIEFS IN CRIMINOLOGY OFFENDING FROM ...

This second edition book advances knowledge about criminal careers throughout life. It presents
new results from the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development (CSDD)  which is a unique
longitudinal study of the development of offending from age 10 to age 61. Previous results
obtained in the CSDD are reviewed  and then new findings from official criminal records up to
age 61 are presented: on offending at different ages  continuity in offending  ages of onset 
and criminal career duration. The number of offenders and offenses between ages 50 and 61 is
noteworthy. The book then presents results on self-reported offending in different age ranges
up to 48: on prevalence  frequency  continuity  and comparisons with official records that
suggest that official records only capture the tip of the iceberg of offending. It then
analyzes different trajectories of official offending up to age 61 and shows to what extent
they could be predicted by childhood risk factors. New results from the CSDD in the last 10
years are then presented  followed by a discussion of the relevance of all the findings for
criminological theories and public policies such as early intervention. This book should be of
great interest not only to academics but also to policy makers and practitioners who are
concerned with crime. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
