Abstract: Contemporary life-course research predominantly classifies offenders according to patterns of offending volume over time, however it is not clear how useful these classifications are for identifying the most harmful offenders. The current study uses a novel methodology to explore trajectories of offending harm over the early life course, drawing on longitudinal offending data for an Australian birth cohort.
