Publisher's Synopsis

The result of a 30-year longitudinal study in Racine, Wisconsin, this monograph tracks the criminal behaviour of juveniles and the persistence or decline of that behaviour into adult life. The author investigates the influence of the neighbourhood environment on the development of a criminal career and the utility of a criminal typology for the purpose of prediction. The book examines how various types and patterns of delinquency, crime and drug use or other drug offences are the product of human interaction in everyday life.
