Prospective Studies of Crime and Delinquency Book PDF Summary
Katherine Teilmann Van Dusen and Sarnoff A.

The second need is for more prospective, longitudinal studies of the etiology of crime and delinquency. The third need concerns the lack of interdisciplinary research toward a more integrated understanding of delinquent and criminal behavior.
