Abstract:     
This book titled, Explaining Criminal Careers, is ‘hot off the press’ and a welcome addition to the OUP series, ‘Clarendon studies in criminology'. The authors of Explaining Criminal Careers bring to play sound expertise in psychology, statistics and mathematical modelling and after examining the validity of existing criminal career theories, they propose a new theory to explain offending, conviction and re-conviction.
