Produktinformationen zu „Pathways to Life Course Criminal Behavior “
Studies have identified both stability and change in criminal behavior across
time. While most youth mature out of delinquency in their late teens and
early adulthood, some juvenile delinquents persist in their criminal behavior
with increased frequency and severity. Researchers are often confronted with
this question: "Why will some youth continue their criminal behavior over
time, when the majority of their peers have made the transition to conformity?''
Based on a longitudinal sample of previously institutionalized youth,
this work examines and tests alternative perspectives on life course persistent
criminal behavior. Findings of this work highlight several important factors
that affect persistent criminal behavior. Demographic differences in pathways
to persistent criminal behavior, such as gender and race variations are also
discussed. The book is addressed to researchers and students in Juvenile
Delinquency, Criminology and Sociology. It is also directed towards professionals
in Criminal Justice, Corrections, and Social Work.
