Criminologists are often interested in examining interactive effects within a regression context. For example, “holding other relevant factors constant, is the effect of delinquent peers on one's own conduct same for males and females?” or “is given treatment program comparable between first‐time repeat offenders?” A frequent strategy such to test difference two coefficients across independent samples. That is, does b 1 = 2 ? Traditionally, criminologists have employed t z slopes making...
Criminal careers have long occupied the imaginations of criminologists. Since 1986 publication National Academy Sciences report on criminal and career criminals, a variety theoretical, empirical, policy issues surfaced. Data key dimensions prevalence, frequency, specialization, desistance raised theoretical questions regarding patterning activity over life course. Recent research has identified important methodological issues, including relationship between past future activity, potential...
This paper builds on work by Nagin and Paternoster in which they contend that two recent developments criminological theory, self-control rational choice, have been explored separately rather than conjunction with one another. In their analysis, found direct effects for variables from each of these theories called more research into simultaneous examination the two. We build delineating a highly specified model offending, we observe thus far has not examined indirect low self-control....
Improving juvenile court decision making requires information about how serious adolescent offenders desist from antisocial activity. A systematic research agenda on this topic consideration of several processes, including normative development in late adolescence, what constitutes desistance, and the factors likely to promote end involvement behavior successful adjustment early adulthood. This article presents an overview major points consider pursuing agenda.
Exposure to alcohol and illicit drugs during early adolescence has been associated with poor outcomes in adulthood. However, many adolescents exposure these substances also have a history of conduct problems, which raises the question whether leads only for those who are already at risk. In 30-year prospective study, we tested there was evidence that substance can be causal factor adolescents' future lives. After propensity-score matching, early-exposed remained an increased risk number...
For many years, notes Alex Piquero, youth of color have been overrepresented at every stage the U.S. juvenile justice system. As with racial disparities in a wide variety social indicators, causes these are not immediately apparent. Some analysts attribute to "differential involvement"--that is, differences offending by minorities and whites. Others them selection"--that fact that system treats minority white offenders different ways. Still others believe explanation lies combination two....

Although police misconduct has interested policing scholars for many years, extant research been largely atheoretical and ignored the role of organizational justice in understanding behavior. This study uses survey data from a random sample 483 officers employed Philadelphia Police Department to explore misconduct. Results indicate that who view their agency as fair just managerial practices are less likely adhere code silence or believe corruption pursuit noble cause is justified....
Successful community reentry and the criminological impact of incarceration may depend in part on attitudes (and consequent reactions) that prisoners encounter after release. Theories social stigma suggest such depend, turn, levels familiarity with stigmatized group (the normalization thesis) as well credibility trust they accord to sanctioning agents legitimation thesis). To assess these two hypotheses, we present first multivariate analysis public toward ex‐offenders. Data from a...
Deterrence theory and criminal justice policy hold that punishment enhances compliance deters future activity. Empirical research, however, is decidedly mixed, with some studies finding weakens compliance, sanctions have no effect on the of depends moderating factors. In this review, we do not consider whether affect but instead conditions under which compliance. Specifically, focus understanding kinds-of-people dimension deterrence to include individual differences (in social bonding,...
Gottfredson and Hirschi’s general theory of crime has generated significant controversy research, such that there now exists a large knowledge base regarding the importance self‐control in regulating antisocial behavior over life‐course. Reviews this literature indicate is an important correlate activity. Some research evaluated programmatic efforts designed to examine extent which malleable, but little empirical on issue been carried out within criminology, largely because theorists have...
Objectives. Drawing from social network and life-course frameworks, the authors extend Hagan’s concept of criminal embeddedness to within gangs. This study explores relationship between in a gang, type deviant network, desistance gang membership. Method. Data were gathered over five-year period 226 adjudicated youth reporting membership at baseline interview. An item response theory model is used construct embeddedness. The estimate logistic hierarchical linear identify whether levels alter...
