Human Development and Criminal Behaviour

by M. Tonry, D. P. Farrington, and L.E. Ohlin

Published 31 December 1991

"Human Development and Criminal Behaviour" proposes an extensive agenda for crime research. The book is part of an effort to understand the causes of crime and, in particular, how it develops. It defines and sets the conditions necessary to conduct an accelerated longitudinal study of individuals at risk of becoming engaged in criminal careers. This work offers a blueprint for research to explain and possibly prevent crime in our society.
