Teenage Fatherhood as a Potential Turning Point in the Lives of Delinquent Youth Journal of Child and Family Studies 24,6 (June 2015): 1685-1696.

The present study examines whether fatherhood, generally, and residential fatherhood, specifically, predicts desistance from criminal behavior and reduced contact with the criminal justice system among delinquent teens. Using multiple waves of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, two models were estimated and analyzed via fixed-effects negative binomial regression comparing periods of residential fatherhood to periods of non-residential fatherhood and non-fatherhood. Results indicated that nonresidential fatherhood placed delinquent teens at greater odds for future arrest compared to residential fatherhood. Further, delinquent teens when residing with their children reported less offending behaviors, such as marijuana use and drug distribution, compared to periods when they did not reside with their children. |

The Contingent Effects of Fatherhood on Offending American Journal of Criminal Justice 43,3 (September 2018): 603-626. Also: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12103-017-9418-2 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Arrests; Crime; Drug Use; Fatherhood; Fathers, Absence; Fathers, Influence; Fathers, Presence; Modeling, Fixed Effects Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A growing body of research assesses the relationship between fatherhood and desistance. Qualitative studies typically find fatherhood reduces offending, especially substance use; yet, quantitative studies have produced mixed findings. Guided by life-course theory, this study hypothesizes that fatherhood affects certain kinds of offending and fatherhood's effects on offending are most pronounced among fathers who reside with their child. To test our hypotheses, NLSY97 data are employed along with fixed-effects regression analyses to estimate the relationship between fatherhood and offending, while controlling for time-varying and time-stable competing factors. Periods of fatherhood are associated with reductions in licit and illicit substance use but not other kinds of offending, and these effects are considerably stronger in periods in which fathers resided in the same household as their child. By contrast, residential fatherhood is associated with reductions in property offending and arrest. These results confirm the findings of qualitative research in that fatherhood, particularly residential fatherhood, reduces substance use but has weaker effects on other kinds of deviance. |

Job-Seeking Behavior in Young Adults: Do Unemployment Insurance Benefits Hurt Job Search Efforts? Journal of Social Service Research 41,1 (2015): 133-140. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01488376.2014.964900# Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Job Search; Unemployment; Unemployment Insurance The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the association between extended unemployment insurance (UI) benefits and young adults' job-seeking behavior. In particular, the study evaluated if the extension of UI benefits to 99 weeks in 2008 had direct effects on job search efforts. Three waves (2007-2009) of data (N = 915) from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth were analyzed using multiple regression models to assess the association of UI benefits to young adults' job search efforts. Additionally, the homogeneity of slope coefficients of the UI benefit on job search effort was evaluated across 3 years using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The results of regression analyses suggest that UI benefits were negatively associated with job search efforts for 2007 and the pooled sample of 2007 to 2009, but the relationship was not significant for 2008 and 2009. The results of the ANCOVA suggest that the UI benefit extension of 2008 did not have any negative association with job search efforts. Future studies should explore the subjective experiences and decisions young adults make in consideration of unemployment, UI benefits, and job search efforts. |
