As a discipline, criminology has long focused its attention on explaining crime and has thus placed crime almost exclusively as an outcome. As a result, little attention has been paid to the effect that criminal involvement has on other social domains, such as education, work, and relationships. To do so, criminal behavior must be understood as one of several social domains that interact within the broader context of social development. Grounded in this developmental perspective, this research used the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997, to examine the consequences of adolescent criminal involvement on social development in early adulthood. The results provide substantial support for the suggested relationships. That is, measures of adolescent delinquency, drug use, and gang membership were found to have significant impacts on adult social outcomes. Adolescent delinquency in particular was shown to have the most consistent effects on measures from the domains of education / employment, health, and social activities. Adolescent criminal involvement, however, had little influence on measures from the domain of social relationships. Support was also shown for indirect effects of adolescent criminal involvement because of associations between social outcomes. That is, criminal involvement in adolescence impacted adult social outcomes through its effect on other social outcomes that existed earlier in the developmental sequence. |

Adolescent Criminal Behavior, Population Heterogeneity, and Cumulative Disadvantage: Untangling the Relationship Between Adolescent Delinquency and Negative Outcomes in Emerging Adulthood Crime and Delinquency 63,6 (June 2017): 683-707. Also: http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0011128715572094 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Crime; Delinquency/Gang Activity; Heterogeneity; Socioeconomic Factors Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Developmentalists suggest that adolescent criminal involvement encourages later life failure in the social domains of education, welfare, and risky sexual activities. Although prior research supports a link between crime and later life failure, relatively little research has sought to explain why this relationship exists. This research attempts to understand why crime leads to negative social outcomes by testing hypotheses derived from the perspectives of population heterogeneity and cumulative disadvantage. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, the results reveal that net of control variables and measures of population heterogeneity, adolescent criminal behavior consistently predicts school failure, being on welfare, and risky sexual activities. The findings also suggest that after controlling for delinquency, adolescent arrest negatively affects these factors. Furthermore, stable criminal traits and adolescent delinquency interact when predicting measures of poor social adjustment in early adulthood. |
