TL;DR: This paper conducted a meta-analysis of the self-control-victimization link, and found that self control is a modest yet consistent predictor of victimization, and the effect of selfcontrol is significantly stronger when predicting noncontact forms of victimisation (e.g., online victimization) and is significantly reduced in studies that control directly for the risky behaviors that are assumed to mediate the self control.

TL;DR: In this paper, a measure of relative specialization, the Offense specialization coefficient (OSC), was introduced and a novel analytical technique called simultaneous quantile regression was used to further the study of specialization.

TL;DR: The results show that concentrated disadvantage is indirectly associated with youth reoffending primarily through its association with exposure to deviant peers, and the neighborhood effects literature offers a promising framework for continued research on understanding the successful transition to adulthood by serious youthful offenders.

TL;DR: Results indicate that a number of individual and social protective factors reduce violent offending in young adulthood, with a few exceptions, specific to the type, frequency, and comorbidity of abuse experienced.

TL;DR: The authors investigated the degree to which multiple homicide offenders are more specialized in their offending careers than are other homicide offenders, and the implications for continued theoretical development and empirical research are discussed in detail.
