New
phase of research underway
In October 2009, we
started a new phase of fieldwork for the Edinburgh Study. We are currently
in the process of re-contacting members of the study to find out about
changes in their lives since the age of 18. In this phase of the study we
are particularly interested in comparing the views and experiences of young
people who were referred to the Children's Hearing System on grounds of
committing an offence with other young people who had no Hearing System
contact.
To get more information about this phase of the study, or to
arrange to participate in the survey, please click

Study Director becomes a Professor
Many congratulations to the principal Director of the Edinburgh Study,
Lesley McAra, who was awarded a personal Chair at the University of
Edinburgh in 2009. She becomes the new Professor of Penology, a title
that was previously held by David Garland. Her inaugural lecture
entitled 'Crime and Punishment in a Small Nation: Why Penology Matters' was
held on 15th December 2009 and focused heavily on findings from the
Edinburgh Study.
List of publications and presentations available
Due to popular demand, we have made available a
dissemination list
of all publications and presentations that have been produced by the
Study team since the study began 12 years ago. We have published in
the region of 60 journal articles, book chapters and reports, and made over
100 presentations to conferences and seminars worldwide, using data from the
Edinburgh Study. Further details of
all our publications can be accessed by clicking on
Findings and
Publications.
