abstract="This study focused on the relationship between fluctuations in cohort size and rates of delinquency in England and Wales from 1957 to 1981. Both convictions and cautions were used as indicators of delinquency with the cohorts broken down by gender. Rates of convictions appeared to be related to cohort size for the first few cohorts, whereas caution rates appeared to covary with cohort size for the latter two-thirds of the cohorts studied. Although the relationship held for both sexes, the trend was much more pronounced for males than females.<p />",
