在犯罪学中，为数不多的几个事实之一是犯罪的年龄分布。这一事实被用来批评犯罪因果关系的社会理论，为其他理论提供基础，证明最近对职业罪犯的重视，并支持犯罪学研究中纵向设计优越性的主张。在本文中，我们认为，犯罪的年龄分布是足够不变的，在广泛的社会条件下，这些使用的年龄分布是不合理的现有证据。
One of the few facts agreed on in criminology is the age distribution of crime. This fact has been used to criticize social theories of crime causation, to provide the foundation for other theories, to justify recent emphases on career criminals, and to support claims of superiority for longitudinal designs in criminological research. In the present paper, we argue that the age distribution of crime is sufficiently invariant over a broad range of social conditions that these uses of the age distribution are not justified by available evidence.
