“…Specifically, the very low‐rate offenders exhibited very little offending from ages 18 to 50; the high‐rate late‐onset escalators did not begin offending until their early 20s but continued to increase their offending frequency over time to age 50; the initially high‐rate desisters were offending at a fairly high rate at age 18 before demonstrating a gradual decline in their mid‐to‐late 20s/early 30s and appearing to desist by early/mid 40s; and the high‐rate chronic offenders increased their offending frequency from age 18 through their early/mid 30s before peaking at age 34 and then gradually declining but still offending at a high rate to age 50. For the most part, these trajectories resembled those estimated in other well‐known and comprehensive life‐course analyses using data collected from the virtually all‐white samples in the Gluecks' sample of juvenile delinquents (Laub and Sampson ; Sampson and Laub ), the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development's South London males (Piquero, Farrington, and Blumstein ; see also Farrington, Piquero, and Jennings ), and the Dutch serious offender cohort (Blokland, Nagin, and Nieuwbeerta ; see Table ).…”

Research on crime over the life‐course has made considerable progress in the last several decades. Despite this growth, significantly less attention has been devoted to longitudinal examinations of Hispanic populations beyond one phase of the life‐course, and/or examining differences between native‐born and foreign‐born Hispanics. Recognizing these limitations, this study offers an investigation of Hispanics in the United States focusing on offending and its relationship to immigration status. Using arrest data from a cohort of 375 Hispanic males from ages 18 to 50, trajectory analysis revealed four unique offending trajectories: very low‐rate offenders, high‐rate late‐onset escalators, initially high‐rate desisters, and high‐rate chronic offenders. Multivariate regression models demonstrated that Hispanic immigrants were significantly less likely to be initially high‐rate desisters or high‐rate chronic offenders compared with their native‐born counterparts, yet unmarried Hispanics were significantly more likely to be high‐rate late‐onset escalators. Study limitations and implications are also discussed.

“…Drug use-related problems in the family have been identified time and again as being a factor that has a strong correlation with an early onset of drug use by adolescents (e.g., DeLisi, 2005;Farrington, 1995). Focusing on adolescents who were brought up by a substancedependent parent, we found specific subjective themes that affected the participants' involvement with (or refrain from) drug use and addiction.…”

A qualitative phenomenological study of high-risk adolescents, who are children of substance-dependent parents, explored the presence of subjective risk and protective factors. Nineteen adolescents were interviewed, all of whom had a father or both parents either actively dependent on psychoactive substances or recovering from substance dependence. The participants were assigned to one of two groups, based on the degree to which they maintained normative lives or had misused substances themselves. It was found that certain perceptions of the participants, concerning themselves and their parents, served as either subjective risk or protective factors, respectively. Implications for the treatment of this population are outlined.

“…The CSDD is a prospective longitudinal survey of the development of offending and antisocial behaviour in a cohort of 411 boys born mostly in 1953, in an inner London area (Farrington, Coid, & West, 2009). The male and key informants, including parents and teachers, have been interviewed regularly since the male were aged 8.…”

Background: This study addresses to what extent child and adolescent explanatory factors predict male perpetrated intimate partner violence (IPV) in adulthood. Methods: We use prospective longitudinal data from the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development (CSDD). The CSDD is a survey of 411 male born in the 1950s in an inner London area. The men were interviewed over a period of 40 years with information also gathered from their parents, peers and teachers and later from their female partners. Results: Family factors such as having a criminal father, a disrupted family, poor supervision and relationship problems with parents predicted later IPV. Individual predictors included unpopularity, daring, impulsivity, aggressiveness and low verbal IQ. There was evidence of cumulative risk for later violence in intimate partnerships. Conclusions: Early childhood factors predict adult male IPV. No other study has showed the predictability of IPV over a 40‐year time interval in a prospective survey. The IPV men tended to have convictions for violence and tended to be unsuccessful in areas such as employment, drinking and drug use.
