"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
