In the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development, 400 London males have been followed up from age 8 to age 46. This paper reviews results obtained on criminal careers of the males and their family members, and on childhood risk factors (the most important of which were: hyperactivity, low intelligence/attainment, family criminality, family poverty and poor child-rearing). It also reviews antisocial behaviour associated with offending at different ages, the effects of life events, and policy implications.
