Cover of Commission on Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education & Committee on Research on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice: Criminal Careers and "Career Criminals, " (PDF)

By focusing attention on individuals rather than on aggregates, this book takes a novel approach to studying criminal behavior. It develops a framework for collecting information about individual criminal careers and their parameters, reviews existing knowledge about criminal career dimensions, presents models of offending patterns, and describes how criminal career information can be used to develop and refine criminal justice policies. In addition, an agenda for future research on criminal careers is presented.
