In this study, we evaluated a model of criminal offending that included the influences of family environment, cognitive ability, and early behavior problems. Analyses were conducted on a large sample of juvenile offenders (N = 4,146) who were committed to the California Youth Authority (CYA) in1964 and 1965, with a 20-year follow-up of arrest data. Results suggest that an adverse family environment was related to the timing and frequency of juvenile delinquency. Cognitive ability, early involvement with alcohol, early age at first arrest, and the number of early arrests were all significant predictors of chronic criminal offending after ages 21, 25, and even after age 31. The timing of first arrest was found to be one of the most important variables for the prediction of chronic criminal activity.
