Most people engage in crime at some point in their lives, but why
does almost everybody stop soon after? And, why do a small number
of offenders persist in crime? These two questions constitute the
core of the field often known as life-course criminology. This book
provides a comprehensive introduction to life-course criminology.
It covers the dominant theories and methodologies in the field and
equips you with all you need to succeed in your studies on the
subject. The book: Discusses the methodologies of life-course and
longitudinal research Explains and critiques the major theories of
life-course criminology Considers the issues of risk, prediction,
onset, persistence and desistance of criminal activity Draws on
research from studies in Europe, the UK, US and Australia,
including the Stockholm Life-Course Project Written by two leading
figures in the field, this is an authoritative text that will guide
you through your studies in life-course criminology, criminal
career research, and developmental criminology.
This book presents a study of co-offering relations among youths
under twenty-one suspected of criminal offences in Stockholm during
1991-5. In total, the study includes just over 22,000 individuals
suspected of around 29,000 offences. Jerzy Sarnecki employs the
methods of network analysis which makes it possible to study the
ties, social bonds, interactions, differential associations and
connections that are central to many of the sociologically oriented
theories on the aetiology of crime. Up to now, network analysis has
been used only rarely in the criminological context. The book
discusses many aspects of Stockholm's delinquent networks such as
the existence of delinquent gangs and a criminal underworld, the
durability of delinquent relations, and the choice of co-offenders
with respect to sex, age, residential location, ethnic background
and earlier delinquent experience. It also considers the effects of
societal intervention on criminal networks. This unique study will
appeal to a wide audience.
