ASC Division of Developmental and Life-Course Criminology (DLC)

The ASC Division of Developmental & Life-Course Criminology (Current Chair: Bianca Elizabeth Bersani) was established in November 2012 and had their first meeting at the 2012 American Society of Criminology (ASC) conference in Chicago. The Division was established by David Farrington and Tara Renae McGee.

1. To advance developmental and life-course criminology and the study of criminal careers,
2. To bring together ASC members interested in discussing and supporting developmental and life-course research in criminology,
3. To facilitate and encourage interaction and dissemination of developmental and life- course research among ASC members, practitioners, funding agencies, policy-making bodies, and other relevant groups, and
