- Farrington et al., The Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development (2006)
- Document offending behaviour from childhood to adulthood in families and look at the influence of life events.
- 411 boys aged 8 and 9 who were born in 1953/1954. At age 48, 394 were still alive and 93% were interviewed.
- At aged 48 of the 404 searched 161 had convictions.
- These 'chronic offenders' all shared similar childhoods e.g. a convicted parent
- 91% of those who started at aged 10-13 committed 9 crimes on average compared to the average of 6 of those who started at 14-16. 77% of crimes in the study were committed by these groups
- 93% of admitted to committing one type of offence at some point in their lives
- 7% of men in the study accounted for about half of all officially recorded offences in the study and their conviction careers lasted between 14-35. These were described as 'chronic offenders'
- Numbers of offences and offenders peaked at age 17. There were 11 offenders and 17 offences per 100 males.
- 91% of those who started at aged 10-13 committed 9 crimes on average compared to the average of 6 of those who started at 14-16. 77% of crimes in the study were committed by these groups
- 93% of admitted to committing one type of offence at some point in their lives
- 7% of men in the study accounted for about half of all officially recorded offences in the study and their conviction careers lasted between 14-35. These were described as 'chronic offenders'
- Numbers of offences and offenders peaked at age 17. There were 11 offenders and 17 offences per 100 males.
- The proportion of men leading successful lives went from 78% at 32 to 88% at 48

- Offenders tend to be deviant in many aspects of their lives. Early-prevention that reduces offending could have wide ranging benefits
- Longditudinal study allows for development of behaviour over time
- Main risk factors can illustrate understanding of the nurture debate
- Psychodynamic - early experience may effect later life
- Behaviourist - observation may result in imitation
