This study tests the hypothesis that specialization exists for violent offending by examining the criminal arrest records of a Danish birth cohort of 28,884 men.
Abstract
For offenders with more than three arrests, specialization in violence is found to exist. For offenders with fewer than four arrests, specialization in property offending was found to exist. The paper discusses knowledge of past violent offending as a potentially valuable part of the predictive equation of future violence. 2 figures, 4 tables, 24 references. (Author abstract modified)
