New Findings from the Cambridge-Somerville Youth Study
Thu, Nov 17, 11:00am to 12:20pm, Hilton, Royal, 3rd LevelSession Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract
This panel reports on new findings from the Cambridge-Somerville Youth Study (CSYS), including preliminary findings from the age-80 follow-up, final results of a matched pairs reanalysis of offending at age 45, and an assessment of the historical developments and contemporary relevance of the study’s longitudinal-experimental design, with special reference to intergenerational transmission of offending. Begun in 1939, the CSYS is a delinquency prevention experiment of 506 boys (median age = 10.5 years) from the Boston area. Boys in the treatment group received special counseling for a period of 5 years on average. The study was last followed-up by Joan McCord, when participants were in their mid- to late forties.
