Samenvatting

Human Development and Criminal Behavior proposes an exten-
sive agenda for crime research. The book is part of a pio-
neering effort to understand the causes of crime, particu-
larly its developmental course. It defines and sets the con-
ditions necessary to conduct an accelerated longitudinal
study of individuals at risk to become engaged in criminal
careers. This work offers a blueprint for research to eluci-
date and possibly prevent crime in our society.
