Not All Criminal Career Models Are Equally Valid
A Prospective Test of a Criminal Career Model
In an earlier article in this journal, Barnett, Blumstein, and Farrington (1987) formulated a model that described the criminal careers of the multiple offenders in a cohort of London males that had been studied from their 10th to 25th birthdays. That model involved two subpopulations of offenders (denoted as “frequents” and “occasionals”), each characterized by a constant annual conviction rate (μ) and a constant probability (p) of terminating t…
Probabilistic Models of Youthful Criminal Careers
This paper focuses on the characterization of the criminal careers of youthful offenders. It was found that these criminal careers could be modeled with parameters rejecting constant individual rates of offending and constant probability of career termination; population heterogeneity could be adequately represented by two distinct groups—designated here as “frequents” and occasionals.” These parameters were estimated for the multiple offenders i…
Model-Based U.S. Prison Population Projections
Prison population totals at state institutions have varied greatly over the past 35 years. After growing slowly but steadily during the 1950s, the inmate population was fairly stable during the 1960s and early 1970s (Figure 1). From the mid-1970s to the present, however, the number of prisoners has grown at an unprecedented rate. Over the past 10 years, the state prison population has doubled; as of mid-1984, 420,000 people were incarcerated by s…
