Saving children from a life of crime [electronic resource] : early risk factors and effective interventions / David P. Farrington and Brandon C. Welsh. New York ; Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2007. 1 online resource (xii, 233 p.). Studies in crime and public policy Includes bibliographical references and index. After decades of rigorous study in the United States and across the Western world, a great deal is known about the early risk factors for offending. High impulsiveness, low attainment, criminal parents, parental conflict, and growing up in a deprived, high-crime neighborhood are among the most important factors. There is also a growing body of high quality scientific evidence on the effectiveness of early prevention programs designed to prevent children from embarking on a life of crime. Drawing on the latest evidence, this title assesses the early causes of offending and what works best to prevent it. Description based on print version record.
