Developmental Crime Prevention in the Twenty-first Century: Generating Better Evidence Embedded in Large-scale Delivery Systems

In recent decades, a strong foundation for developmental crime prevention has been constructed by a small band of criminologists, including the authors in this special issue. However, the evidence base is incomplete and needs strengthening. Moreover, the “flagship programs” that largely constitute the evidence base simply establish “proof of concept” rather than providing evidence readily translatable into policies for sustainable, population-wide crime prevention. I propose the development of a research agenda for both type 1 translation (applying basic scientific research to the development and testing of new prevention initiatives) and type 2 translation (investigating the complex processes and systems through which evidence-based practices are adopted, implemented, and sustained on a large scale). The agenda could include (a) experiments that integrate universal, selective, and indicated interventions; (b) study of the crime prevention effects of “services as usual” because routine services can be the pathway to scale; (c) research in partnership with practitioners and communities to construct risk and protective factor profiles to guide prevention planning, implementation, and evaluation; (d) type 1 research in areas where better evidence is needed; and (e) better integrating the timing of interventions with knowledge about the development of criminal propensity. I argue that type 2 translation could be viewed as the new frontier for developmental crime prevention, requiring a shift in focus from programs to systems and new research methodologies such as those developed in the CREATE Project, which has built electronic and human infrastructure to help bridge the gap between developmental prevention research and routine services.

二十一世纪的预防发展犯罪:在大型交付系统中生成更好的证据

近几十年来,一小批犯罪学家为这一发展性犯罪奠定了坚实的基础,其中包括本期特刊的作者。但是,证据基础不完整,需要加强。此外,在很大程度上构成证据基础的“旗舰计划”只是建立“概念证明”,而不是提供可轻易转化为可持续的全民预防犯罪政策的证据。我建议针对第一类翻译(将基础科学研究应用于新预防措施的开发和测试)和第二类翻译(研究采用,实施基于证据的做法的复杂过程和系统,并大规模维持)。议程可包括(a)整合普遍,选择性和明确干预措施的实验;(b)研究“常规服务”对预防犯罪的影响,因为常规服务可以成为扩大规模的途径;(c)与从业者和社区合作进行研究,以建立风险和保护因素概况,以指导预防计划,实施和评估;(d)在需要更好证据的领域进行的第一类研究;(e)更好地将干预时机与关于犯罪倾向发展的知识相结合。我认为2型翻译可以被视为预防发展犯罪的新领域,需要将重点从计划转移到系统和新的研究方法上,例如在CREATE项目中开发的方法,
