Delinquent Networks: Youth Co-Offending in Stockholm (Cambridge Studies in Criminology)

This book presents a study of co-offending relations among youths under 21 suspected of criminal offenses in Stockholm during 1991-1995. In total, the study includes just over 22,000 individuals suspected of around 29,000 offenses. Jerzy Sarnecki employs the method of network analysis that 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 etiology of crime. Up to now, network analysis had been used only rarely in the criminological context.

An Introduction to Life-Course Criminology

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: <ul>
<li>Discusses the methodologies of life-course and longitudinal research</li> <li>Explains and critiques the major theories of life-course criminology</li> <li>Considers the issues of risk, prediction, onset, persistence and desistance of criminal activity</li> <li>Draws on research from studies in Europe, the UK, US and Australia, including the Stockholm Life-Course Project</li> </ul>
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.
