Human Development and Criminal Behavior
Human Development and Criminal Behavior proposes an exten- sive agenda for crime research. The book is part of a pio- neering effort to understand the causes of crime, particu- larly its developmental course.

Delinquency and Opportunity
First published in 1998.

Delinquency and Community
Delinquency and Community summarizes the findings of the authors' twelve years study of large training schools for delinquents in Massachusetts.

Concluding chapters present new theoretical developments and discuss a pilot study of community change, social control and delinquency.
