Untangling the Heterogeneity in the Marriage Effect Presented: Chicago IL, American Society of Criminology Annual Meeting, November 2012 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Society of Criminology Keyword(s): Crime; Heterogeneity; Life Course; Marriage Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using a life course framework as a guide, much of the recent work on desistance from crime has examined the positive effect of marriage on the decrease and/or cessation of criminal activity. Rare, though, is the examination of the heterogeneity in the effect of marriage on criminal involvement. This is unfortunate because prior work may overstate or understate the beneficial effect of marriage during the life course. This study is one attempt to fill this void in literature. Specifically, this investigation will use data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 to investigate whether or not there is heterogeneity in the marriage effect across propensity, age, gender and race. In addition, it will help to clarify theory by examining the true robustness of the social bond in question. |
