本文简要回顾了犯罪随时间发展的一些历史方法，并强调了发展犯罪学的概念化。它强调研究个体内违法行为随时间的变化，以及研究可能解释个人违法行为发生、升级、降级和停止的因果因素。特别是，更好地了解犯罪职业的个体差异可以帮助解释为什么一些青少年只在很小程度上参与犯罪，而另一些青少年参与犯罪的程度更深，以及哪些个人群体在生命周期的哪个部分开始停止犯罪。发展犯罪学与应用刑事司法相关，有几个原因：(A)发展理论的形成，(B)对个体而不是变量的研究，以及(C)关于哪些行为是干预目标以及何时干预的决定。
This article briefly reviews some historical approaches to the development of offending over time and stresses the conceptualization of developmental criminology. It emphasizes the study of within-individual changes in offending over time and the study of causal factors that may explain onset, escalation, deescalation, and desistance in individuals' offending. In particular, a better understanding of individual differences in criminal careers can help to explain why some youths become involved in delinquency only marginally and others more deeply, and which groups of individuals start to desist in crime at which part of the life cycle. Developmental criminology is relevant for applied criminal justice for several reasons: (a) the formulation of developmental theories, (b) the study of individuals rather than of variables, and (c) decisions about which behaviors to target for intervention and when to intervene.
