LIFE‐COURSE TRAJECTORIES OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF OFFENDERS*
Abstract
The point of departure for this paper is Nagin and Land (1993), who identified four distinctive offending trajectories in a sample of 403 British males—a group without any convictions, “adolescence‐limiteds,”“high‐level chronics,” and “low‐level chronics.” We build upon that study with a detailed analysis of the distinguishing individual characteristics, behaviors, and social circumstances from ages 10 through 32 of these four groups. The most salient findings concern the adolescence‐limiteds. By age 32 the work records of the adolescence‐limiteds were indistinguishable from the never‐convicted and substantially better than those of the chronic offenders. The adolescence‐limiteds also seem to have established better relationships with their spouses than the chronics. The seeming reformation of the adolescence‐limiteds, however, was less than complete. They continued to drink heavily and use drugs, get into fights, and commit criminal acts (according to self‐reports).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
