Prediction of Adult Criminal Careers from Early Delinquency Offense Characteristics in the 1958 Philadelphia Birth Cohort
This paper uses the official juvenile offenses among the delinquent boys in the 1958 Philadelphia Birth Cohort to investigate the nature of delinquency conduct, offense-by-offense, and its relationship to adult crime status. Although it is convenient to think of an offender's delinquency career as a whole, such a career actually consists of one or more specific offenses, and offense conduct can be worth studying in its own right. Thus, it is necessary to determine whether the timing, type, severity, court disposition, and so on of these juvenile offenses can be used to predict adult career pathways. An extensive review of the literature revealed that investigations of early offense conduct and its connection to adult crime are exceedingly scarce. This study indicates as follows: First, the way a delinquent begins his criminal career is predictive of the adult trajectory that will be followed. Second, aspects of the first few offenses do influence whether delinquents continue committing crimes as an adult. The strongest predictor of adult crime status was juvenile court dispositions.

Career Thoughts of Male Offenders Re-entering Society Using Cognitive Theory Assessment
Acquiring a job after incarceration is a perpetual challenge for ex-offenders. With nearly 95% of incarcerated individuals eventually returning to communities, the effort to understand and maintain employment and self-sufficiency may be a critical component of success. The purpose of this descriptive study was to examine the career thoughts of offenders (N = 241) nearing release. By investigating an individual’s self-perception of employability and capability, those who serve incarcerated individuals may be better prepared to meet the challenge of barriers to employment after release. Results indicate that the youngest generation has higher levels of commitment anxiety; and less educated prisoners have significantly higher decision-making confusion, external conflict, and overall CTI scores. Implications and findings are discussed and future research is proposed.

FAILED FAUSTIANS: JACK KEROUAC AND THE DISCOURSE OF DELINQUINCY
Norman Podhoretz, for instance, argued that \"the spirit of hipsterism and the Beat Generation strikes me as the same spirit which animates the young savages in leather jackets who have been running amok in the last few years with their switch-blades and zip guns\" (211).1 Echoing this conflation, when 20th Century Fox attempted to purchase screenplay rights to On the Road, they hoped to reimagine Kerouac's novel as a synthesis of The Wild One (1953) and Rebel Without a Cause (1955)-the two most celebrated juvenile delinquency films of the 1950s. Both sets of texts were efforts to make sense of the proliferation of disaffected teenagers and young men in an affluent society that supposedly offered jobs and social security for all white male Americans.
