Examining the Impact of Military Experience on Crime: Issues of Race and the Life Course Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Sociology, University of Akron, 2018 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Behavior; Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Crime; Life Course; Military Service; Racial Differences; Stress Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Upon returning home from serving, military members experience several hardships including posttraumatic stress disorder, substance and alcohol use, and a higher risk of involvement in crime. There has long been an interest in criminology pertaining to the relationship of military experience and crime. However, the research examining this relationship is largely inconsistent and is made even more unclear when taking combat and race into account. In this dissertation, I address these issues and use a quasi-experimental methodological technique that aims to overcome these inconsistencies. Using life course perspective and data derived from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, Child and Young Adult sample (NLSY-CYA) 1986-2014, I examine the impact serving in the military has on individuals and how this varies by race. I do this by first matching individuals based on demographics, cognitive predictors, and childhood experiences and behaviors to obtain propensity scores where the binary treatment indicator is military experience (treatment) and no military experience (control). Then, I examine criminal offending differences between military members and civilians. Finally, I examine just the military sample to develop a greater understanding of the military experience and how combat and race impacts crime. This dissertation contributes not only to the literature in criminology and the life course perspective but also to military research and race literature. |

Parenting and Self-Control across Three Generations Presented: New Orleans LA, American Society of Criminology Annual Meeting, November 2016 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: American Society of Criminology Keyword(s): Children, Behavioral Development; Grandchildren; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Parent Supervision/Monitoring; Parenting Skills/Styles; Self-Control/Self-Regulation Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. According to self-control theory, the primary means of developing self-control is through good parenting practices. While some recent work has pointed to potential biological patterns in self-control, most studies find that different monitoring and discipline practices are crucial components for instilling self-control in children. This study examines how self-control is connected to parenting over three generations. Using data from the NLSY79 and the NLSY-CYA, this study examines how self-control of the women in the original cohort influences their parenting styles, which in turn impacts the self-control and later parenting practices of their children, leading finally to differing levels of self-control in their grandchildren. |

Self-control, Parental Crime, and Discipline across Three Generations Deviant Behavior 39,12 (2018): 1533-1551. Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01639625.2017.1410616 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Crime; Discipline; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Modeling, Structural Equation; Parental Influences; Parenting Skills/Styles; Self-Control/Self-Regulation The objective of this study is to examine the relationships between self-control, parental crime, and use of discipline across three generations. Data spanning 30 years from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, are analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling. This study focuses on whether different types of discipline used by parents predict the self-control of each successive generation. We also examine whether self-control and criminal activities of parents are predictive of parenting and resulting self-control of children. We find that discipline has a weak relationship to self-control but that parental crime and self-control do relate to the self-control of later generations. |
