Our briefings and impact library includes summaries of our research findings as well as reports highlighting the impact of our cohort studies.
This briefing note shows the overall prevalence of shoplifting and neighbourhood crime at age 17 and its co-occurrence with other types of offences. Various prior factors are examined in terms of their association with engaging in these crime types, including family socioeconomics and environment, mental health, and previous experiences of offending.
Join us as we celebrate 50 years of the 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70) with a new podcast series. Over the course of six weeks, ‘50 Years of Life in Britain’ explores the contribution BCS70 participants have made to improving British science and society. The six-part series tells their story, and charts the first five decades of the study. In our first episode, we explore the first decade of BCS70 and the impact of its early years research on policy many years later.
