Age Matters: Stopping Out, Going Back, and Criminal Desistance Based on Timing of Educational Return Crime and Delinquency 66,3 (March 2020): 363-391. Also: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0011128719860836 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Crime; Dropouts; Education; Education, Adult; Educational Attainment Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Education can reduce criminal behavior through preventive influences and later desistance. However, the desistance effect may be hindered by the age at which one returns to formal education. This study explores this point by examining drop out and stop out offenders in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. Specifically, this study creates separate subgroups of respondents who reported recommitting to educational pursuits before and after age 18. Results indicate that recommitting to education, and specific degree attainment, differ in their impact on future crime depending on when an offender reenrolls in formal education. This study expands the importance of studying the timing of social events within lives and suggests targeting policy interventions in adolescence. |

Different Social Influences and Desistance From Crime Criminal Justice and Behavior 43,9 (September 2016): 1225-1241. Also: http://cjb.sagepub.com/content/43/9/1225 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Arrests; Crime; Employment; Marriage Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Desistance from crime has been associated with numerous social influences. Although researchers have explored different theoretical rationales and underlying mechanisms between external social developments and individual changes in behavior, little focus has been given to the individual versus cumulative influences, and social complexities, of different informal controls influencing reduction in criminal behavior. The current study explores the individual and combined impact of marriage and employment on arrest using 17 years of monthly level data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1997). The results address isolated and cumulative influences of each social control on arrest and provide insight into the relevance of acknowledging the complexities of social events developing over time. |

Does Military Service Continue to Facilitate Desistance? Revisiting Theory and Practice Deviant Behavior 41,5 (2020): 574-590. Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01639625.2019.1575541 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Crime; Military Service Military service can provide a source of behavioral desistance but may also increase different types of offending behavior. In addition, changes in law and social practice regarding recruitment may hinder the crime reducing effect. I examined the desistance effect of military service in an ongoing longitudinal study, specifically the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. The study identifies limited involvement in service, either in active or reservist capacity, and inconsistent influences on subsequent criminal behavior. The findings expand the relevance of socio-cultural considerations in life-course research and desistance in particular. The current study also suggests opportunities for theoretical re-evaluation of the impact of military service on crime. |

Social Capital, Social Controls, and Desistance from Crime Presented: Atlanta GA, American Society of Criminology Annual Meeting, November 2018 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Society of Criminology Keyword(s): Crime; Family Influences; Social Capital Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Informal social controls facilitate desistance from crime through establishing specific bonds, such as employment, but desistance research has not sufficiently examined the complex sequencing of how an offender may secure employment in the first place. Both the ability to obtain employment and the factors instilling a personal connection to the workplace (i.e., establishing a social control) may be better understood by incorporating an additional theoretical perspective: social capital. Social capital articulates the importance of utilizing existing social resources, such as family ties or opportunities provided by friends, and could increase informal social controls to further facilitate desistance. The current study explores this connection through an examination of social capital, informal social control, offense, and additional control variables in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. Offenders were divided into different race and gender subsets, with lagged models examining how social capital and employment predict offending behavior. Findings provide opportunities to re-examine theoretical and practical influences of desistance, and elaborate on race and gender discrepancies in crime. |

Social Opportunities and Controls: Revisiting the Desistance Effect of Employment Deviant Behavior published online (27 February 2020): DOI: 10.1080/01639625.2020.1734169. Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01639625.2020.1734169 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Crime; Employment Employment serves as a source of desistance from crime, principally through the establishment of informal social controls, but for offenders seeking prosocial change there are significant barriers to obtaining employment and practical questions over how impactful work experiences may be at reducing future crime. A central question involves how a reforming offender might obtain employment, such as whether they utilize social network opportunities. The current study uses the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1997) to explore changes in offending behavior through employment, incorporating utilization of social networks to obtain employment. The results identify a long-term reduction in offending, but also suggest that social network opportunities may provide limited prosocial growth experiences. The study create opportunities for theoretical expansion in desistance research and suggest nuances in social patterns applicable to the process of desistance. |

Stopping Out and Going Back: The Impact of Educational Attainment on Criminal Desistance Among Stopped-Out Offenders Crime and Delinquency 65,4 (April 2019): 527-554. Also: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0011128719828352 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Crime; Dropouts; Educational Attainment; Educational Returns; GED/General Educational Diploma/General Equivalency Degree/General Educational Development; High School Diploma Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Education has been consistently studied as a source of crime prevention and control, but the relevance of returning and completing educational degrees among offenders who drop out, as an opportunity to further the process of desistance, has not received empirical attention. The current study addresses this gap in desistance research by examining the impact of educational return and specific degree attainment on desistance from crime using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. Results indicate that reenrolling in educational pursuits can produce partial desistance effects as does specific degree attainment. The findings suggest a reconsideration of education as both a source of prevention and desistance and expands theoretical and practical discussion of desistance through educational pursuits. |
