The Impact of Court-Ordered and Non-Court-Ordered Volunteering on Substance Use: A Life Course Approach Presented: Atlanta GA, American Society of Criminology Annual Meeting, November 2018 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Society of Criminology Keyword(s): Criminal Justice System; Life Course; Substance Use; Volunteer Work Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. For my research, I contribute to the literature on volunteering by examining the impact of different types of volunteering on individuals' substance use in the United States. Though many individuals strictly volunteer for altruistic reasons, other individuals volunteer to satisfy requirements for school or church, while others are sentenced from the court. Research has examined the link between volunteering and substance use in the past; however there seems to be a dearth of research on court-ordered community service effects, particularly long-term substance use in the life course. To address this gap in the literature, my research will examine what the long-term effects of volunteering on substance use in the U.S. by looking at court-ordered volunteers and non-court-ordered volunteers. For my analysis, I will use data from waves 1 through 16 of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. This dataset allows for prior substance use and criminal justice system participation to be controlled. The age-graded social control theory will be utilized to answer if the type of volunteering affects marijuana, hard drug, tobacco, and alcohol use. The results from my research will discuss whether court-ordered and non-court-order volunteering can be a possible means to reduce substance use. |
