“…The Ministry of Children and Family Development is responsible for the care of incarcerated youth in the province of British Columbia, Canada, and gave the ISVYOS consent to enter its custody centers to recruit participants (see McCuish et al (2022) for a cohort profile that describes sampling and procedures in greater detail). Recruitment took place between 1998-2011 3 .…”

“…A completed intake interview was the only criteria for determining eligibility to receive an interview to rate the PCL:YV. The discrepancy between the number of participants with an intake interview and the number of participants with a PCL:YV rating is because (1) the PCL:YV was not formalized until 2003 (Forth et al, 2003), (2) the PCL:YV required time, specialized training, and funding that was not available over the full 20 years of the study, and (3) the focus of the study changed over time and thus completing PCL:YV ratings was not always prioritized (see McCuish et al, 2022). Youth who spent more time in custody would have more opportunity to participate in the study and therefore may have been more likely to receive a PCL:YV rating.…”

Purpose: Using data on participants born around 100 years ago, Laub and Sampson asserted that early developmental risk factors are not informative of social outcomes in adulthood. More specifically, they claimed that early risk factors were not informative of adulthood informal social control, persistent offending, and the degree to which informal social control protects against later offending. We offer a contemporary comparison point to these claims that carry theoretical implications for developmental and life-course criminology. Methods:The current study used prospective longitudinal data on 518 male and female participants from the Incarcerated Serious and Violent Young Offender Study. Early developmental risk for persistent offending was measured via the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL:YV). Informal social control was measured in emerging adulthood via the Community Risk Needs Assessment (CRNA). Offending trajectories were measured for an average of 15 years following participants' CRNA ratings.Results: PCL:YV scores were negatively associated with informal social control (selection effects), positively associated with persistent offending, and negatively related to lower rates of offending, even when informal social control was high (treatment effect heterogeneity). Conclusions: Findings align with Elder's conceptualization of life-course theory that acknowledges the potential for individual, social, and macro-level factors to shape human development.
