The study of criminal careers is of increasing interest in
criminology. It is now generally recognised that it is important to
try to understand criminal behaviour across the life-course rather
than focusing on fragmented incidents which provide only a partial
picture. This is an accessible text which clarifies the crucial
theoretical and methodological debates surrounding the study of
criminal careers.
It focuses on some major longitudinal studies discussing the
onset, persistence, desistance and the duration of a criminal
career. The important topics of prediction, risk and specialisation
are addressed. The challenging question of 'When do ex-offenders
become like non-offenders?' points a way forward. The book
concludes by proposing an even more ambitious approach to the topic
of criminal careers.
