Desistance From Crime (2007, background): “Although desistance has become an increasingly popular research topic in recent years, some authors have argued that the state of knowledge on this topic is still relatively limited (Bushway, Thornberry, & Krohn, 2003; Farrall & Bowling, 1999; Farrington, 2003; Laub & Sampson, 2001; Le Blanc & Loebe”
The Importance of School Attendance: Findings From the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development on the Life-Course Effects of Truancy (2017, background): “…one of the longest prospective longitudinal studies known to criminology, the results of which have appeared in well above 200 published works (Farrington, 2003; Farrington, Coid, & 598 Crime & Delinquency 63(5) West, 2009; Farrington, Piquero, & Jennings, 2013; Jennings, Piquero, Rocque, &…”
The Development of Offending from Age 8 to Age 50: Recent Results from the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development (2009, background): “Results of the Study have been described in four books (West 1969; 1982; West & Farrington 1973; 1977), and in four summary articles (Farrington & West 1981; 1990; Farrington 1995; 2003).”
A case-control study of offenders with high functioning autistic spectrum disorders (2005, background): “In considering vulnerability to offending by people with ASDs, several factors may be relevant: these will include both the more general vulnerability factors identified in the criminological literature, such as low IQ, poor school achievement, truancy, aggressive behaviour, and hyperactivity-impuls”
Sex differences in direct aggression: What are the psychological mediators? (2006, background): “Impulsivity is prospectively predictive of violent offending (Farrington, 2003; Henry, Caspi, Moffitt & Silva, 1996) and is more closely related to stranger violence than to partner violence (Krueger, Caspi & Moffitt, 2000).”
Crime in Adult Offspring of Prisoners (2007, methodology): “Farrington (2002) suggested six mechanisms that might link parent and offspring criminality: (a) intergenerational exposure to risk, (b) assortative mating (male and female offenders tend to cohabit or marry, and children with two criminal parents are likely to be disproportionally antisocial), (c) ”
Assessing Protective Factors in Forensic Psychiatric Practice: Introducing the SAPROF (2011, unknown): “The identification of protective factors for violent behavior is seen as the major challenge for the near future (Farrington, 2003; Rogers, 2000; Salekin & Lochman, 2008).”
Antisociality, Sexual Deviance, and Sexual Reoffending in Juvenile Sex Offenders (2008, result): “This is not really surprising considering that longitudinal studies have shown that recidivism rates tend to increase over successive convictions (Farrington, 2003). It is important that more precise information be included in future studies so that the nature and the number of convictions as risk m”
Risk factors and protective factors: a two-sided dynamic approach to violence risk assessment (2013, background): “…for a more strengths-based approach and simultaneously a growing criticism from international research literature on the risk-only focus in violence risk assessment (see Farrington, 2003; Rogers, 2000; Miller, 2006), assessment tools were developed that include strengths or protective factors.”
Effects of parental imprisonment on child antisocial behaviour and mental health: a systematic review (2009, background): “org antisocial/criminal behaviour, poor parental supervision, poor marital relations, large family size, low family socioeconomic status, and low family income (Murray & Farrington, 2005), which all predict child delinquency (Farrington, 2003).”
Evidence of Negligible Parenting Influences on Self‐Control, Delinquent Peers, and Delinquency in a Sample of Twins (2008, background): “Finally, criminological studies link delinquent behavior to a range of individual, situational, and environmental risk factors (Farrington, 2003).”
Predicting Criminality? Risk Factors, Neighbourhood Influence and Desistance (2006, background): “…criminal career (see Smith and McVie, 2003; Smith and McAra, 2004; Smith, 2004a, 2004b; McAra, 2004; Webster et al., 2004; Laub and Sampson, 2003; Farrington, 2002b) but also the emergence of national offender management systems predicated on the veracity of risk assessment that measures the…”
Studying Criminal Career Length Through Early Adulthood Among Serious Offenders (2004, methodology): “Following prior research (Farrington, 2003; Smith & Gartin, 1989), career duration was measured in the current study as the parolee’s active offending period to date, or the time (in years) expired between the last arrest and first police contact in an offender’s career.4 Although there are other…”
