About this Item

Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 342 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This groundbreaking study examines patterns of offending among persistent juvenile offenders. Employing advanced quantitative techniques to offenders with very high rates of recidivism, Ezell and Cohen demonstrate that many of these apparently hardened criminals will "grow out" of crime by the time they reach their early to mid-20s. This finding has profound implications for penal policies that impose life sentences on multiple offenders.
