Abstract

Background

The Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development (CSDD) is one of the most important prospective criminological longitudinal studies in the world. This now-famous study of 411 boys, followed up from age 8 (in 1961) to 48 with in-person social interviews and up to 61 in official records, has produced an immense range and depth of knowledge.

Aims

The aim of the current paper is to describe recent efforts that have been made to both secure the data available from the CSDD by digitising the historical paper records and to obtain new data by undertaking a new wave of data collection with the men at about age 70.

Results

Both the archiving of paper records and the new interviews significantly expand the depth and range of research questions that the CSDD can address. A surprisingly high proportion of the selected samples of men interviewed at about age 70 self-reported an offence.

Conclusions

These new developments solidify the status of the CSDD, David Farrington's legacy, as a world-leading source of information about the development and maintenance of criminal and antisocial behaviour.

剑桥犯罪发展研究的当代发展：大卫·法灵顿的遗产。

背景：剑桥犯罪发展研究（Cambridge Study in criminal Development， CSDD）是国际上最重要的前瞻性犯罪学纵向研究之一。这项现已闻名的研究对411名男孩进行了跟踪调查，从8岁（1961年）到48岁，进行了面对面的社会访谈，直到61岁有官方记录。这项研究产生了广泛而深入的知识。目的：当前论文的目的是描述最近所做的努力，通过数字化历史纸质记录来确保CSDD提供的数据，并通过对70岁左右的男性进行新一轮的数据收集来获得新数据。结果：无论是纸质记录的存档还是新的访谈，都显著地扩展了CSDD可以解决的研究问题的深度和范围。在接受采访的70岁左右的男性样本中，有相当高的比例自称有过犯罪行为。结论：这些新的发展巩固了CSDD的地位，David Farrington的遗产，作为关于犯罪和反社会行为的发展和维持的世界领先的信息来源。

期刊介绍： Criminal Behaviour & Mental Health – CBMH – aims to publish original material on any aspect of the relationship between mental state and criminal behaviour. Thus, we are interested in mental mechanisms associated with offending, regardless of whether the individual concerned has a mental disorder or not. We are interested in factors that influence such relationships, and particularly welcome studies about pathways into and out of crime. These will include studies of normal and abnormal development, of mental disorder and how that may lead to offending for a subgroup of sufferers, together with information about factors which mediate such a relationship.
