“…A succinct summary of early work on offender typologies was given by Ferdinand (1966), who divided the then existing work into empirical typologies, with types determined through an inductive process, and ideal typologies, where types were derived from a theoretical structure. At that time, psychological types of offender were particularly prevalent, with typologies proposed by Alexander and Staub (1956), Freidlander (1947), Sanford (1943) and Weinberg (1952) -the last suggesting types such as the 'acting-out neurotic' and the 'self-centred over indulged person'. More criminologically focused work was carried out in the late 1960s and early 1970s.…”

A B S T R A C TThis study presents a new approach to developing a typology of criminal activity. The distinguishing feature of the analysis is that it concentrates on determining types of activity rather than the amounts of activity over the life course. The methodology involves investigating criminal activity in a succession of five-year periods rather than the conventional approach of summarizing a 'lifetime' of crime. This provides scope for assessing changes and pathways of criminal activity as offenders grow older, and gives new insight into the concepts of specialization and versatility. The Home Office Offenders Index birth cohort for 1953 provided official conviction histories up to 1993 (age 40), and latent class analysis identified a fixed number of types of criminal behaviour separately for males and females. The patterns of offending varied markedly between males and females. Male offending (with nine identified types) showed greater diversity than female offending (with three identified types). For the males, each type of offending had a distinct age profile, but this was not evident with the females. A new definition of offending specialization is given, and is shown to increase for males as offenders grow older. A case study on one of the male offending types illustrates the potential for identifying pathways of crime.

“…On the other hand there are some suggestions that mental disorder is less prevalent in homogeneous societies (Weinberg, 1952). Such suggestions are, however, a long way from reliably established (see Linton [1956], for a discussion of this issue).…”

“…With regard to the relationship between neurosis and socio-economic status, Rose and Stub (1955) conclude that there seems to be no generalized, consistent pattern though there are some suggestions of a positive relationship between total incidence and occupational status and income. Weinberg (1952), on the other hand, feels it to be possible that hysteria is more common in the lower social classes and obsessivecompulsive reactions more prevalent among upper class groups. (There is however an extreme paucity of data bearing upon this question with the result that a definitive statement is hardly possible.…”

In an effort to shed some factual light on the part played by social and cultural factors in mental disorder, this author appraises the current status of research between socio‐cultural variables and mental disorder by summarizing and evaluating recent empirical studies of these relationships. Consideration is given to demographic, ecological, cross‐cultural, social stratification, and social mobility studies as well as to social factors and psychiatric treatment.

“…The studies of Stanton and Schwartz, of Caudill, Redlich, Gilmore and Brody (4), and of Weinberg (29) suggest that all inpatient facilities need a continuing study of the culture of the institution by personnel who are not responsible for the operating of the institution, nor active in psychotherapy in the institution. It is only through such studies that an institution can keep check on whether, and to what extent, its milieu is really therapeutic.…”
