Resumo(s)
This article investigates to what extent life-course self-reported offending is related to the four developmental
pathways model of criminal careers. Self-reported offending from ages 10 to 48 years
is analyzed in the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development, which is a prospective longitudinal
survey of the development of offending. Vandalism, shoplifting, assault and fraud were selfreported
by more than half of the non-convicted males; however, individuals in convicted pathways
had significantly more self-reported offences. In particular, versatile serious recidivists had a large
number of self-reported offences, an earlier age of onset and a later age of desistance. A theoretical
approach to criminal careers is proposed, which relates childhood vulnerabilities to lifelong selfreported
offending and official criminal careers. The findings suggest that the key criminological
research issue is how and why any person exceeds normative levels of offending, between the expected
beginning in childhood/adolescence and the expected ending during middle adulthood.
