(Received June 17, 1999) ABSTRACT. The main purpose of this paper is to present and discuss the analytical
tools that will be necessary to carry forward research in criminal careers.
In an earlier model that was used to analyses some crime data (Ojo [4]), the
rate of offending or arrest g, say, of individual criminals, was taken as a constant, which can be regarded
as over simplification. This model and other similar basic models in this context
are extended in this paper, first, to reflect variations in g across the explanatory variables, x (such as age, drug use, previous
convictions, etc.), then to reflect variations in g over time within a criminal career and finally, to take into account both changes
in g over time and variations across x.
