Redemption research examines how much time must pass after a criminal offense before an offender is considered "redeemed." This study adds to redemption research by using a nationally representative sample from the United States to determine whether years to redemption found in prior research replicate and will be the first to determine whether there are gender differences. We also explore factors that influence who makes it to the redemption point. Findings reveal that while men reach the redemption point after 10 years, women reach the redemption point after 4 years. Policy implications of these findings are discussed. |

Mechanisms Linking Depression to Delinquency for Males and Females Feminist Criminology 5,1 (January 2010): 8-28. Also: http://fcx.sagepub.com/content/early/2009/09/16/1557085109345468.abstract Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Delinquency/Gang Activity; Depression (see also CESD); Gender Differences; Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The current study examines whether the mechanisms underlying the relationship between depression and delinquency vary between male and female adolescents. Four potential mechanisms are considered in the analyses: weakened internal controls, weakened social controls, peer rejection, and substance use. The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth–Child and Young Adult data reveal that depression increases the odds of peer rejection for males, which subsequently increases males' involvement in delinquency. Results suggest that substance abuse mediates the relationship between depression and delinquency for female adolescents. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed. |
