Summary: Developmental and life-course criminology aims to provide information about how offending and antisocial behavior develops, about risk and protective factors at different ages, and about the effects of life events on the course of development. The main intent of this volume is to advance knowledge about these theories of offender behavior, many of which have been formulated only in the last twenty years. It also aims to integrate knowledge about individual, family, peer, school, neighborhood, community, and situational influences on offender behavior, and to combine key elements of earlier theories such as strain, social learning, differential association, and control theory.
