Background In July of 1992, approximately sixty scholars and
researchers met for a week at the "Fritz Erler Akademie" in
Freudenstadt, Germany, to participate in a workshop entitled
"Cross-National Lon gitudinal Research on Human Development and
Criminal Behavior." The participants represented 15 nations and 45
universities and research centers. Although longitudinal research
in criminology has a long history, this workshop represented the
first one in the field of criminology in which it was attempted to
get together the main scholars in this field from around the world.
The largest group of the workshop represented American scholars
(19), a reflection of the fact that longitudi nal research in
criminology is predominantly conducted in North America. This
volume is the result of the workshop process and in particular of
the invitations to participants to prepare pre or conference
papers. The chapters in this volume were selected from a larger set
of pre- or conference papers. As workshop conveners and volume
editors, it falls to us to set some of the context for this enter
prise. Longitudinal research in criminology became a major approach
after the publication of the land mark study by Wolfgang, Figlio,
and Sellin "Delinquency in a Birth Cohort" in 1972. Around the same
time, when Wolfgang, Figlio, and Sellin started their Philadelphia
cohort study, were longi tudinal studies, although different in
scope and aim, launched by Shannon in the USA, West in England,
Janson in Sweden, and Goppinger in Germany."
