Social learning theory remains one of the leading explanations intimate partner violence (IPV). Research on attitudes toward IPV represents a logical extension social tradition, as it is intuitive to expect that individuals exposed in family origin may internalize behavioral scripts for and adopt accepting IPV. Yet despite this assumed link between IPV, few studies have empirically examined factors associated with development such attitudes. Using data from Toledo Adolescent Relationship...

The complexity of adolescents' dating and sexual lives is not easily operationalized with simple indicators or activity. While building on prior work that emphasizes the "risky" nature intimate relationships, we assess whether a variety reflecting relationships influence early adult well-being (i.e., depressive symptoms, self-esteem, gainful activity, partner violence, relationship quality). Our analysis longitudinal data from Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study showed number adolescent...

Intimate partner violence (IPV) has been linked to a broad range of negative consequences. Thus, early detection and prevention behaviors associated with IPV is necessary combat this global public health problem. Controlling (CBs) within the intimate context, including acts constrain free mobility or access friends relatives, have characterized as moderate form may be an indicator more severe IPV. Previous research in field, however, primarily conducted United States. Accordingly, we lack...

Objectives: Research on criminal continuity and change has traditionally focused elements of the adult life course (e.g., marriage employment); however, recent social economic changes suggest need to consider a broader range factors. In addition, researchers have increasingly recognized importance identity in desistance process. Methods: Using five waves structured data from Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study (TARS), we examined changes, shifts involvement with delinquent peers,...

Abstract Children experiencing parental incarceration face numerous additional disadvantages, but researchers have often relied on these other co‐occurring factors primarily as controls. In this article, we focus the intimate links between crime and incarceration, well broader family context within which unfolds. Thus, parents’ drug use criminal behavior that precedes may follow periods be ongoing stressors directly affect child well‐being. We also our analyses to foreground mechanisms...

Whether moving back home after a period of economic independence or having never moved out, the share emerging adults living with parents is increasing. Yet little known about associations coresidence patterns and rationales for adult well-being. Using Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study ( n = 891), we analyzed depressive symptoms among who (a) left parental home, (b) returned to (c) were not currently parent. About one fifth had boomeranged in their parents. Among those parents, nearly...

A large body of research links both a lack self-control and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) to variety negative health behavior outcomes, including delinquent criminal behavior. To date, relatively little considers whether experiencing greater ACEs is associated with lower self-control. We advance this area by first articulating potential mechanisms through which may impact then investigate more inversely in separate samples youth from Michigan Florida. For samples, results indicate...

We draw on structured and qualitative data to examine relationship dynamics associated with intimate partner violence (IPV) that occurs during the young adult period. Relying a symbolic interactionist perspective, we identify specific contested domains what has been called 'situational couple violence,' explore degree which certain forms of communication about areas ('verbal amplifiers') exacerbate risk violence. Consistent this relational focus, measures index respondent as well concerns...

Family scholars have demonstrated that economic conditions influence marital quality and relationship instability. Similarly, researchers identified low income poverty as important risk factors for intimate partner violence ( IPV ). Yet limited work has examined how the use of in romantic context, particularly during young adulthood. Using Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study n = 928), authors career concerns specific sources conflict on among a sample adults. Findings suggest these areas...

Objectives We draw on social learning theory to examine associations between parents’ attitudes, beliefs, and behavior youth crime. Extending beyond prior work in the tradition, we expand scope of attitudes beliefs that may elevate youths’ risk, recognizing most interactions communications involve noncriminal considerations. Methods Using longitudinal data from National Survey Teen Relationships Intimate Violence ( n = 1,162), explore direct indirect role parental behaviors individuals’...

We examined whether the influence of adolescents’ sexual partnerships, both dating and casual, carried over to affect emerging adults’ relationship satisfaction experiences intimate partner aggression. Analyses longitudinal data from Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study ( n = 294) showed that net control variables (delinquency, depression, family violence, relational sociodemographic characteristics), number dating, but not partners led greater odds aggression during adulthood. Further,...

The relevance of criminology to matters public policy has been hotly debated throughout the history discipline. Yet time and again, we have borne witness consequences harmful criminal justice practices that do little reduce crime or improve lives our most vulnerable populations. Given urgent need for evidence-informed responses problems face society, argue here criminologists can should a voice in process. Accordingly, this review describes challenges prospects policymaking on justice. In...

Abstract Research Summary We explored the extent to which implementation of a pretrial risk assessment instrument (PRAI) corresponded changes in processing defendants using multiple administrative data sources from large county southeastern United States. Our findings revealed little evidence reductions detention lengths or increases use nonfinancial forms release following tool's adoption. This was largely attributable exercise judicial discretion, as judges frequently departed...

Over the past three decades, number of people housed in local jails has more than tripled. Yet when it comes to reforming nation's incarceration policies, write Jennifer Copp and William Bales, researchers, policymakers, public alike have focused almost exclusively on state federal prisons.

Abstract Background Scholars have documented the significant physical health consequences of intimate partner violence. Yet, because existing research draws primarily on clinical samples adult women, it is unclear whether exposure to dating violence related detriments among young men and women. Furthermore, data limitations largely precluded consideration mechanisms underlying these previously observed associations. Aims We sought examine direct association between self‐rated during...

We focus on the character of adolescent and young adult relationships, argue that attention to interpersonal features intimate partner violence (IPV) is necessary for a comprehensive view this form violence. Drawing ideas from feminist post-structural perspectives, we highlight studies develop somewhat non-traditional but nevertheless gendered portrait relationships as backdrop exploring dyadic processes associated with IPV. Findings are based quantitative qualitative analyses longitudinal...
