Developmental crime prevention involves identifying risk factors and taking steps to intervene before children become involved in crime
“Prior factors that raise the likelihood of the commencement, frequency, persistence, or duration of offending are known as risk factors (Georg, & Manning, 2022). Longitudinal data are necessary to organise risk factors and criminal career characteristics in criminal offenders. poor parental supervision, low school attainment, Impulsivity, and attention issues are all well-established and repeatable risk factors for delinquency. The causal mechanisms that relate risk factors to criminal behaviour are less fully understood. Is it true that having a large family predicts offending due of the poor supervision of each child, or is it just because more antisocial people have more children (Clayton, Jones, Brown, & Taylor, 2018)?
Only risk variables that can vary within people can have causal effects, but prevention needs variation (change) within individuals. It's not always obvious if findings within people correspond to findings between persons. For example, unemployment is a risk factor for offending amongst persons, since jobless people are more likely to be offenders...
