When I Grow Up: Future Expectations, Race and Criminal Desistance Presented: San Francisco CA, American Society of Criminology Annual Meeting, November 2019 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Society of Criminology Keyword(s): Crime; Ethnic Differences; Expectations/Intentions; Racial Differences; Sociability/Socialization/Social Interaction Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. There is relatively limited research on desistance as it varies according to race and ethnicity. Most of this literature focuses on adult social bonds that decrease crime (e.g. higher education, employment, and marriage) as they differentially affect racial groups. Some conclude such events have similar effects for both whites and blacks, while others reveal how specific events are more impactful on desistance depending on racial/ethnic group membership. Despite these contributions, with the increasing numerical representation of Hispanics in the United States and racial/ethnic differences in the prevalence and timing of such events, there is much to gain from analyses of the association between race/ethnicity and crime that expands beyond the black-white relationship. In this study, we use group-based trajectory modeling and data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97) to assess whether the relationship between future expectations, adult social bonds, and desistance varies across race and ethnicity. Our results suggest that there are differences in the predictors for desistance across racial/ethnic groups. |
