Saving Children from a Life of Crime: Early Risk Factors and Effective Interventions - Studies in Crime and Public Policy
Farrington, David P. (Professor of Psychological Criminology, Institute of Criminology, Professor of Psychological Criminology, Institute of Criminology, Cambridge University)
Drawing on the latest evidence, Saving Children from a Life of Crime is the first book to assess the early causes of offending and what works best to prevent it. Preschool intellectual enrichment, child skills training, parent management training, and home visiting programs are among the most effective early prevention programs. Criminologists David Farrington and Brandon Welsh also outline a policy strategy - early prevention - that uses this currentresearch knowledge and brings into sharper focus what America's national crime fighting priority ought to be.
