SPRINGERBRIEFS IN CRIMINOLOGY OFFENDING FROM ...

This Brief examines criminal careers by providing the most extensive and comprehensive
investigation to date on the official offending  self-reported offending  and trajectories of
offending of the Pittsburgh Youth Study (PYS) participants. The PYS is a longitudinal study 
which was initiated in 1987  and involves repeated follow-ups on several community cohorts
(starting in grades 1  4  and 7) of inner-city boys in Pittsburgh  Pennsylvania. This Brief
covers the Youngest and Oldest PYS cohorts (which had the most follow-up and most data
available) from ages 10-30. It provides the most complete descriptive analyses of the criminal
careers of these males to date. The three cohorts are commonly referred to as the Youngest 
Middle  and Oldest cohorts  respectively. Consistent with several prior publications with the
PYS data (Loeber et al.  2008)  this book focuses only on data from the Youngest and Oldest
cohorts as these cohorts were followed up the most frequently and have the longest time window
of data available. It will be of interest to researchers in Criminology and Criminal Justice 
as well as related fields like Sociology  Developmental Psychology  Social Policy  and
Education.
