Data were obtained from computerized police archival records in a large western Canadian city, and event history survival models were used to estimate patterns of onset and persistence for delinquent careers over six-month intervals in the early stages of police contact. Findings indicated that there is meaningful short-term change in offending among multiple levels of youth subgroups. Whereas some youths seem to offend for only a short time and then stop, other youths continue to offend and at a higher rate. However, there also seem to be patterns of heterogeneity within as well as between these subgroups of young offenders during the initial stages of criminal careers. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
