Career Criminals, Superpredators, and What Everyone Gets Wrong About Crime

This video essay discusses the Delinquency in a Birth Cohort study(ies) which looked into the causes of recidivism. This essay looks to understand why the causes of recidivism are so important to understand, how that understanding helps us to understand crime as a whole, and why the study(ies) show that our fundamental understanding of crime is flawed. And how does that flaw lead to increased crime.
