602 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. 6 (2005)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0602 and id is 1 raw text is: Preface By ROBERT J. SAMPSON and JOHN H. LAUB U nbeknownst to us at the time, the idea for this special issue was born two years ago. In November 2003, we participated in a Presiden- tial Plenary session at the annual meeting of the American Society of Criminology (ASC) in Den- ver, Colorado. As then-ASC President, John Laub organized and chaired the session, titled Age, Crime, and Human Development: The Future of Life-Course Criminology. Since the early 1980s, age, crime, and human develop- ment have animated the field of criminology, so he thought it would be a good idea to revisit these topics, especially with an eye to the future of life-course criminology. Laub invited four scholars whom he felt represented a diverse set of protagonists in ongoing debates about age, crime, and human development. Robert Sampson, Harvard University, agreed to serve as the principal speaker for this session. He pre- sented material from Shared Beginnings, Diver- gent Lives: Delinquent Boys to Age 70 (Laub and Robert J. Sampson is chairman of the Department of Sociology and Henry Ford HI Professor of the Social Sci- ences at Harvard University. His recent work focuses on the limits of the prediction paradigm in criminology, durable forms of urban inequality, networks of commu- nity social organization, and theories of civil society. John H. Laub is a professor of criminology and criminal justice in the Department of Criminology and Criminal justice at the University of Maryland at College Park. His areas of research include crime and deviance over the life course,juvenile delinquency andjuvenile justice, and the history qf criminology. He has published widely, inclling most recently Shared Beginnings. Divergent Lives: Delinquent Boys to Age 70, coauthored with Rob- ert Sampson (Harvard University Press, 2003). This book is the 2004 recipient of the Michael J. Hindelang Book Award from the American Society qf Criminology and the 2005 recipient of the Outstanding Book Award from the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences.
