“…There is no shortage of criminological theories that seek to explain the relationship between criminal parents and their offspring's offending. Empirical tests of these theories have been somewhat slower to accumulate (Pratt 2015). Despite the various methodological complexities described, research has gone some way to indicate the extent of intergenerational transmission, to establish the relative impact of environmental and genetic factors, and to distinguish between the specific and common impacts of these factors for male and female offspring.…”

The intergenerational transmission of criminal behaviour is well-recognized, but less is known about the mechanisms that may explain it. This study presents new analyses from the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development, which examine the intergenerational transmission of criminal convictions. It then investigates mediation via psychosocial risk factors. The convictions of fathers and mothers were significantly related to the convictions of their male offspring, and this was mediated via the fathers' drug use. However, the convictions of fathers were only indirectly related to the convictions of female offspring via the father's cohabitation problems. The convictions of mothers were also indirectly related to those of the female offspring through harsh parental discipline. Accurate identification of the role that psychosocial risk factors play in intergenerational pathways for males and females can inform much more effective gender-specific prevention.

“…Accordingly, the purpose of this article is to lay out a series of guidelines that, if taken seriously, may help you become a successful publisher. There are, of course, several works on this very subject that provide detailed, step-by-step accounts of the mechanics of crafting peer-reviewed articles (Cullen, 1989; Pratt, in press; Thyer, 1994), which should be read carefully. Alternatively, my purpose here is to take a broader approach to the publishing process.…”

One of the greatest challenges that new scholars face is getting their work published in peer-reviewed journals. Publications weigh heavily in decisions to hire, promote, and tenure faculty, and they occupy a central position in studies about departmental prestige rankings. The problem is that most scholars find success in publishing to be elusive. The purpose of this article is to provide readers with a series of tips to help them organize their academic lives so that they may become a successful publisher. None of the tips I suggest are for the faint of heart, and no tricks or gimmicks are offered. Instead, the broad theme is that scholars need to take agency over their careers. Put simply, your success is your responsibility!
