{"product_id":"9781108794794","title":"Developmental Criminology and the Crime Decline : A Comparative Analysis of the Criminal Careers of Two New South Wales Birth Cohorts (Elements in Criminology)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThroughout the 1990s many countries around the world experienced the beginnings of what would later become the most significant and protracted decline in crime ever recorded. Although not a universal experience, the so-called international crime-drop was an unpredicted and unprecedented event which now offers fertile ground for reflection on many of criminology's key theories and debates. Through the lens of developmental and life-course criminology, this Element compares the criminal offending trajectories of two Australian birth cohorts born ten years apart in 1984 and 1994. It finds that the crime-drop was unlikely the result of any significant change in the prevalence or persistence of early-onset and chronic offending, but the disproportionate disappearance of their low-rate, adolescent-onset peers. Despite decades of research that has prioritized interventions for at-risk chronic offenders, it seems our greatest global crime prevention achievement to date was in reducing the prevalence of criminal offending in the general population.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52303680045367,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":135.45,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9781108794794-1.jpg?v=1783152137","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9781108794794","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
