I am delighted to welcome this wide-ranging interdisciplinary book
on many aspects of criminology. I cannot comment on all these topics in
this prologue, but I will review three issues on which I have worked: psy-
chopathy, intimate partner violence and oender proling. I will end my
prologue by discussing the latest empirical tests of my theory of the devel-
opment of oending throughout life.
Psychopathy is an important psychological construct. People who are
high on psychopathy tend to have supercial charm, grandiose ideas, high
manipulativeness, low empathy and low guilt or remorse, and they tend to
be callous, unemotional, self-centred, impulsive, irresponsible and antisocial.
I have investigated psychopathy in the Cambridge Study in Delinquent De-
velopment (CSDD), which is a prospective longitudinal study of the devel-
opment of 411 London males, based on face-to-face interviews from age 8 to
age 48 (Farrington, 2019; Farrington et al., 2009). Psychopathy was measured
at ages 8-10, 12-14 and 16-18 using the Antisocial Process Screening Device
(APSD; Frick & Hare, 2001), and at age 48 using the Psychopathy Checklist:
Screening Version (PCL:SV; Hart et al., 1995). eir male and female chil-
dren were also interviewed at the average age of 25 (Farrington et al., 2015),
and psychopathy was again measured using the PCL:SV.
