Abstract

Official criminal records are one of the most well-known sources of crime data. Accordingly, this chapter reviews the process whereby the criminal record searches were conducted in order to construct the life-course conviction records among the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development (CSDD) males from ages 10 to 61. This rich offending information is then analyzed with a particular focus on the key criminal career dimensions of onset age, offending continuity, and criminal career duration. The incarceration histories of the CSDD males are also briefly reviewed.
