Changes in offending around official labor market entry:Vulnerable youths in transition to adulthood
Full text linkThis chapter analyzes changes in offending around job entry in a sample of previously institutionalized young adults in the Netherlands. Using yearly data for official employment and convictions the chapter examines changes in the risk of offending during the years before and after official job entry. Although not providing estimates of causal effects of employment, the results on timing of change will shed light on which theoretical perspective is the more plausible in explaining the role of labor market transition in relation to criminal offending in a group of vulnerable young adults who have marginal labor market status prior to job entry. Analyzing longitudinal survey data on young adults and a small sample of interviews with convicted felons, they show that—while adolescents may perceive delinquency as adult behavior—delinquency in adulthood is associated with low levels of adult status
Taking stock of life-course criminology
Full text linkThis introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book covers the latest developments in life-course criminological theory. It reviews two popular life-course theories—Sampson and Laub's age-graded theory, and Giordano and colleagues' cognitive transformation theory—focusing on the role of human agency in these theories. Challenged by the longitudinal perspective of the life-course approach, the book examines how both continuity and change can be understood from the perspective of the Situational Action Theory. The book investigates important aspects of criminal careers, and focuses on the development of delinquency and crime in adolescence and early adulthood. It draws from in-depth interviews with a subsample of young adults in the Pathways to Desistance Study, a prospective longitudinal study of desistance from crime among serious adolescent offenders from Phoenix, Arizona, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The book summarizes the key findings of the Individual Development and Adaption (IDA) study
Intergenerational continuity in incarceration:Evidence from a Dutch multi-generation cohort
Full text linkResults from juvenile delinquency and offending research have demonstrated that parental criminality is a risk factor for intergenerational offending. This chapter examines the intergenerational transmission of incarceration by analyzing the oldest generations of Dutch families contained in the Five Generation Study of Risk in the Netherlands. Murray and colleagues re-examined longitudinal studies conducted in the UK, US, Sweden and the Netherlands to explore whether the effects of parental incarceration on offspring offending differed across jurisdictions with varying social and penal climates. Developmental systems theory offers a framework to contextualize parental incarceration and children's development. Children's behaviour and developmental changes occur as a result of changes in individual-context relations among the multiple systems and structures in which the young person is developing. The incarceration of a parent may result in removing certain developmental risks for a child, such as poor role modelling, substance abuse and family violence
Social and individual antecedents as predictors of adolescent-onset conduct problem behavior
No full textThis chapter examines the developmental patterns of Dutch adolescents' conduct problem involvement. Clinical diagnoses of conduct disorder refer to the most severe cases but will not apply to the large group of children and adolescents who infrequently or for a short amount of time engage in minor forms of conduct problem behaviour. Developmental patterns of conduct problems, criminal involvement, delinquency and similar concepts are often examined with semiparametric and growth mixture modelling techniques. Beginning with factors most proximal to the adolescent, the chapter examines the roles of gender, pubertal development and temperament in distinguishing adolescent-onset conduct problems from persistent high and stable low trajectories. Several studies have identified risk factors for the early-onset (life-course) persistent (EOP/LCP) trajectory but less is known about distinct antecedents of conduct problems that are specific to the adolescent-limited/adolescent-onset (AL/AO) trajectory. Thus, the key objective of this study was to examine previously studied individual, social and demographic risk factors as predictors of the AL/AO trajectory
