Series: Criminology at the Edge

Frontiers in Developmental and Life-Course Criminology advances the field of developmental and life-course criminology (DLC) by highlighting some recent methodological innovations, and exploring the ways in which DLC criminologists are helping to bridge the gap between science and service by their engagement with policymakers and government and non-government agencies.

The book is united by three related themes: the use of new data sources including government administrative data systems, the development of intervention and prevention strategies grounded in DLC research, and resilience, prosocial behaviour, and strengths-based approaches.

This book opens up new possibilities for the future of DLC research, orienting the DLC field as one that prioritises the achievement of better outcomes for individuals and society.

Reviews for Frontiers in Developmental and Life-Course Criminology: Methodological Innovation and Social Benefit

""This is an important book and essential reading for students, practitioners, and policy makers alike! It carefully - and critically - explains how new data sources and innovative methodologies can be used to advance our knowledge of offending across the life course. What results is truly a blueprint for the ongoing development of evidence-based crime prevention policy and practice."" Andrew Day, Professor of Criminology, University of Melbourne ""This book charts an ambitious and essential way forward for developmental and life course criminology (DLC) theory, research, and practice. The edited text provides numerous innovative examples of how DLC researchers can collaborate across disciplines and with community members and policy makers to enhance crime prevention."" Abigail A. Fagan, Professor, Department of Sociology and Criminology & Law, University of Florida ""This timely volume offers diverse and novel perspectives to inform the future of developmental/life course criminology. The content challenges and extends DLC approaches, and helpfully canvasses both theoretical and practical developments in the field. It will appeal to scholars and practitioners in diverse fields including criminology, law, social work and psychology. "" Dr Susan Baidawi, Senior Lecturer in Social Work, Monash University ""I am confident that this exceptional edited collection will become an essential resource for developmental life-course criminologists. In addition to contributions that wrestle with important and contemporary theoretical debates there are chapters that are highly relevant to real-world settings and practice. These relatively untapped domains range from a thorough examination of the benefits and limitations of using administrative data for DLC research to integrating the voices of Indigenous populations and those with lived experience into DLC research."" Professor Darrick Jolliffe, Professor of Criminology, Royal Holloway, University of London and Co-Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Developmental and Life Course Criminology
