Summary: The primary aim of this study was to examine the relationship between an offender's debut offence and their future offending. A debut offence was defined as the offence for which an offender received their first caution or conviction (first proven offence). The study specifically looked at whether the type of debut offence committed predicted future chronic or serious offending careers, and whether the type of debut offence and subsequent re-offending had changed over time. This report builds on research from Sweden (Svensson, 2002) that showed that offenders who committed robbery or vehicle theft as their debut offence were at the greatest risk of becoming chronic offenders eight years later. Identifying and targeting offenders who are most likely to become one of the small group of chronic offenders responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime, at an early stage of their criminal career, is a promising approach to crime prevention.
