The (Surprising) stability of youth crime rates

Publication ,  Journal Article
Cook, PJ; Laub, JH
Published in: Journal of Quantitative Criminology
September 1, 1986

Despite the profound demographic and socioeconomic changes characterizing family life in recent years, youth crime rates have remained more or less constant since 1971. This finding is of interest given the intense public concern regarding the welfare of children. It also serves as a convenient basis for projecting the future volume of youth crime. © 1986 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
