About this title

Synopsis

Human Development and Criminal Behavior proposes an exten-sive agenda for crime research. The book is part of a pio-neering effort to understand the causes of crime, particu-larly its developmental course. It defines and sets the con-ditions necessary to conduct an accelerated longitudinalstudy of individuals at risk to become engaged in criminalcareers. This work offers a blueprint for research to eluci-date and possibly prevent crime in our society.
