This book examines several contentious and under-studied criminal
career issues using one of the world's most important longitudinal
studies, the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development (CSDD), a
longitudinal study of 411 South London boys followed in criminal
records to age 40. The analysis reported in the book explores
issues related to prevalence, offending frequency, specialization,
onset sequences, co-offending, chronicity, career length, and
trajectory estimation. The results of the study are considered in
the context of developmental/life-course theories, and the authors
outline an agenda for criminal career research generally, and
within the context of the CSDD specifically.
Violent crime in America shot up sharply in the mid-1980's and
continued to climb until 1991, after which something unprecedented
occurred. The crime level declined to a level not seen since the
1960's. This revised edition of The Crime Drop in America focuses
first on the dramatic drop in crime rates in America in the 1990's,
and then, in a new epilogue, on the patterns since 2000. The
separate chapters written by distinguished experts cover the many
factors affecting crime rates: policing, incarceration, drug
markets, gun control, economics, and demographics. Detailed
analyses emphasize the mutual effects of changes in crack markets,
a major focus of youth violence, and the drop in rates of violence
following decline in demand for crack. The contrasts between the
crime-drop period of the 1990's and the period since 2000 are
explored in the new epilogue, which also reviews major new
developments in thinking about the causes and control of crime.

By focusing attention on individuals rather than on aggregates,
this book takes a novel approach to studying criminal behavior. It
develops a framework for collecting information about individual
criminal careers and their parameters, reviews existing knowledge
about criminal career dimensions, presents models of offending
patterns, and describes how criminal career information can be used
to develop and refine criminal justice policies. In addition, an
agenda for future research on criminal careers is presented.
