From Childhood System Contact to Adult Criminal Conviction: Investigating Intersectional Inequalities using Queensland Administrative DataJournal of Developmental and Life-Course Criminology - Tập 8 - Trang 440-480 - 2022
Ben Matthews, Susan McVie, Carleen Thompson, Anna Stewart
It is well known that youth justice contact is associated with criminal conviction in adulthood. What is less well understood is whether ‘cross-over’ children, who have contact with both child welfare and youth justice systems, experience relatively worse outcomes and, if so, whether these outcomes vary by important demographic factors, such as sex and race. Criminal careers scholars have examined...... hiện toàn bộ
Relating Clusters of Adolescent Problems to Adult Criminal Trajectories: a Person-Centered, Prospective ApproachJournal of Developmental and Life-Course Criminology - Tập 1 - Trang 169-188 - 2015
Stacey J. Bosick, Bianca E. Bersani, David P. Farrington
Motivated by offender typology debates, we evaluate whether adult offending trajectories can be predicted from adolescent risk factors. Drawing on data from the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development (N = 411), we use person-centered, latent class cluster analysis (LCCA) to identify groups of respondents with similar behavioral, social, and psychological profiles measured in adolescence. We the...... hiện toàn bộ
Human Agency and Explanations of Criminal Desistance: Arguments for a Rational Choice TheoryJournal of Developmental and Life-Course Criminology - Tập 1 - Trang 209-235 - 2015
Ray Paternoster, Ronet Bachman, Shawn Bushway, Erin Kerrison, Daniel O’Connell
Extant theoretical work on desistance from crime has emphasized social processes such as involvement in adult social bonds or pro-social relationships, with very little attention given to individual subjective processes such as one’s identity. The desistance theories of Sampson and Laub and Giordano seem to have reached the point of consensual acceptance in the field. Theoretical work within the p...... hiện toàn bộ
Facilitating Maturation Through Social Bonds Among Delinquent Youth in the Transition to AdulthoodJournal of Developmental and Life-Course Criminology - Tập 6 - Trang 448-476 - 2020
David Abeling-Judge
Maturation has recently been revived as a relevant, and complex, integrated theoretical concept with empirical support, particularly among offender populations. The theoretical concept evolved from an abstract, age-associated term, to a series of specific domains, including psychosocial, adult role, identity, civic, and cognitive processes. While existing research has empirically supported the int...... hiện toàn bộ
Age, Gender, and Crime in a Stockholm Birth Cohort to Age 64Journal of Developmental and Life-Course Criminology - Tập 7 - Trang 359-384 - 2021
Christoffer Carlsson, Fredrik Sivertsson
We study the criminal histories of 14,608 males and females in a full Stockholm birth cohort born in 1953 to age 64. Using an update of The Stockholm Birth Cohort Study data, we explore the amount of crimes recorded in the cohort before and after the advent of adulthood. We break down the age/crime curve into separate parameters, including onset, duration, and termination. Throughout, we utilize t...... hiện toàn bộ
Choosing Our Criminological Future: Reservations About Human Agency as an Organizing ConceptJournal of Developmental and Life-Course Criminology - Tập 3 - Trang 373-379 - 2017
Francis T. Cullen
Although perhaps useful in inspiring creative inquiries, this essay argues that human agency should not be embraced as criminology’s single background assumption or be its organizing concept. Positivist study of causality cannot be avoided if the criminological enterprise is to be scientific, to take seriously developmental processes across the life course, and to be the basis for progressive inte...... hiện toàn bộ
