1.	Does Military Service Continue to Facilitate Desistance? Revisiting Theory and Practice Deviant Behavior 41,5 (2020): 574-590. Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01639625.2019.1575541 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Crime; Military Service Military service can provide a source of behavioral desistance but may also increase different types of offending behavior. In addition, changes in law and social practice regarding recruitment may hinder the crime reducing effect. I examined the desistance effect of military service in an ongoing longitudinal study, specifically the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. The study identifies limited involvement in service, either in active or reservist capacity, and inconsistent influences on subsequent criminal behavior. The findings expand the relevance of socio-cultural considerations in life-course research and desistance in particular. The current study also suggests opportunities for theoretical re-evaluation of the impact of military service on crime.

Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01639625.2020.1734169 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Crime; Employment Employment serves as a source of desistance from crime, principally through the establishment of informal social controls, but for offenders seeking prosocial change there are significant barriers to obtaining employment and practical questions over how impactful work experiences may be at reducing future crime. A central question involves how a reforming offender might obtain employment, such as whether they utilize social network opportunities. The current study uses the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1997) to explore changes in offending behavior through employment, incorporating utilization of social networks to obtain employment. The results identify a long-term reduction in offending, but also suggest that social network opportunities may provide limited prosocial growth experiences. The study create opportunities for theoretical expansion in desistance research and suggest nuances in social patterns applicable to the process of desistance.

Yet, little research has tried to explain why boys and girls differ in their decision to associate with deviant peers. With the salience of deviant peers well established as a robust predictor of delinquency, we address the question, are the predictors of association with deviant peers different for boys and girls? In our examination of family and community processes, individual effects, and peer group composition factors, we find that the predictors of association with deviant peers differ by gender. In addition, our findings suggest gender divergences in the causes of both deviant peer association and deviant peer pressure. We discuss the implications of our research for both theoretical development and appropriate model estimation.

Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, longitudinal data from mothers with children ages 8–9 and 12–13 were analyzed via structural equation modeling. Results demonstrated an overall environment of effective parenting is associated with (1) self-control before and after it is theoretically established and (2) parenting constructs outside the conceptualization of the theory. Further, the stability of self-control may matter more than parenting in the longitudinal development of self-control.

Also: https://doi.org/10.1080/01639625.2023.2254904 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Drug Use; Learning, Supervised (Machine Learning/AI); Learning, Unsupervised (Machine Learning/AI); Machine Learning; Religion; Religious Attendance; Religious Beliefs; Substance Use; Young Adults This study aims to assess the longitudinal patterns of multifaceted religious profiles and their relationships with illegal substance abuse among young people transitioning from late adolescence to early adulthood. A novel longitudinal approach integrating the cutting-edge unsupervised and supervised learning techniques is proposed to analyze the data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. The results show that emerging adults who are highly religious in either subjective (e.g., religious beliefs) or objective (e.g., religious attendance) domain are much less likely to abuse illegal substances than their religiously disengaged peers. Religiosity, regardless of subjective or objective, tends to be protective, but its effect is most prominent among young people most profoundly devoted to both religious beliefs and behaviors. Nevertheless, possessing strong commitment to religious beliefs without accompanying frequent religious behaviors may put emerging adults at greater risk for illicit substance abuse, compared to those who hold high level of religious beliefs but do not engage in corresponding religious behaviors frequently.

The Long Road to Probation Completion: A Longitudinal Analysis of the Effect of Life Events on Re-Arrest among Probationers Deviant Behavior published online (28 October 2020): DOI: 10.1080/01639625.2020.1841587.

Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 and survival analyses, the current study aimed to explore the likelihood of probation failure by re-arrest and survival time to re-arrest among those with stable and changing statuses of various social bonds, including marriage/cohabitation and employment. The results suggested that those experiencing stability in these life domains when entering probation initially did not seem to have the best chance of survival. Rather, it was change in these statuses that made a difference. Based on postestimation survival curves, those divorced/separated and unemployed experienced the quickest time to failure.

Using a pooled sample from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, group-based trajectory analysis is presented to identify adolescents who abstain from marijuana, vandalism, violence, and theft during their teenage years, and latent class analysis is used to examine within-group heterogeneity among abstainers. A subset of abstainers report weak peer integration, psycho-emotional instability, worse academic performance, and more conflict with their parents. Implications of findings are discussed.

Maternal Characteristics, Parenting, and Adolescent Sexual Behavior; the Role of Self-Control Deviant Behavior 26,1 (January/February 2005): 25-46 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Delinquency/Gang Activity; Parenthood; Parenting Skills/Styles; Self-Regulation/Self-Control; Sexual Behavior Gottfredson and Hirschi's general theory of crime has been extensively tested by researchers in the field of criminology, and measures of self-control have been shown to predict crime, delinquency, and deviance. With few exceptions, however, the theory has not been applied to the study of adolescent sexual behavior. Using data from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79) and the Children of the NLSY79, this research explores the direct and indirect effects of parenting and self-control on adolescent sexual behavior. Self-control predicts engagement in sexual activity, the number of sex partners, and relationship to last sex partner. Self-control also mediates the relationship between certain parental behaviors and adolescent sexual behavior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Examining the Influence of Delinquent Peer Association on the Stability of Self-Control in Late Childhood and Early Adolescence: Toward an Integrated Theoretical Model Deviant Behavior 34,5 (May 2013): 407-422.

Despite the empirical support for these theories, it is commonplace to test these theories as competing or conflicting theoretical frameworks. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79) (N = 629), we examine two related research questions: (1) is self-control relatively stable in late childhood and early adolescence? and (2) does delinquent peer association influence the stability of self-control in late childhood and early adolescence? The results suggest that perhaps a more theoretically integrated approach (social learning and self-control synergistic theory, SSST) is plausible, rather than discussing these two theories as distinct and competing frameworks. Theoretical implications and study limitations are also discussed.

Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01639625.2022.2081102 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Chinese; Cross-national Analysis; Delinquency/Gang Activity; Parent Supervision/Monitoring; Parenting Skills/Styles This study examines the differences in parenting practices and their effects on juvenile delinquency between China and the United States. Its principal goal is to gain a more culturally relevant understanding of the possible ways of preventing delinquency through the improvement of parenting styles. The analyses were based on a nationally representative sample of American adolescents and a probability sample of Chinese adolescents in the same age group. To increase data comparability, the study employed similar measures of parenting practices and delinquency in the two samples. The analysis indicated that the American adolescents perceived a higher level of parental responsiveness but a lower level of parental control than did the Chinese adolescents. While parental responsiveness was inversely related to delinquency in both samples, parental control predicted lower delinquency only in the U.S. sample. Moreover, the negative relationship between parental monitoring and delinquency was stronger among the American adolescents than among the Chinese adolescents. The results underscore the need to consider cultural differences when assessing the impact of parenting practices on delinquency, or when applying the research findings to delinquency prevention programs.

Data spanning 30 years from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, are analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling. This study focuses on whether different types of discipline used by parents predict the self-control of each successive generation. We also examine whether self-control and criminal activities of parents are predictive of parenting and resulting self-control of children. We find that discipline has a weak relationship to self-control but that parental crime and self-control do relate to the self-control of later generations.

Yet, few have examined this in reverse order, that is, how an arrest for delinquency impacts the parent–child relationship. This article explores the effects of arrest on the child's perceived level of parental support using youth survey data for the nation. Among non-arrested youth, parental support experiences a gradual decline during the early teen years, and a considerable rebound in the late teen years. Among arrested youth, support shows sharper drops and recoveries over the teen years. Controlling for a set of social, legal, and demographic items, we examine the effects of the number of arrests on parental support with multinomial logistic regression, noting several gender effects. First, we find that arrests predict lower levels of support for mothers, but not for fathers. An equally noteworthy finding is that boys report more parental support than girls do, regardless of parent gender.

The sample consists of African-American self-reports (n = 402) originating from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79). Analysis centers on responses from individuals who were ages 15 to 17 in 1998, 17 to 19 in 2000, 19 to 21 in 2002, 21 to 23 in 2004, 23 to 25 in 2006, and 25 to 27 in 2008. Following trajectory analysis of their reported number of sexual partners and perceptions of social disorganization, three groups are identified, showing variations in perceptions and number of sexual partners. Overall, results from these groups indicate that perceived social disorganization among African Americans has some impact on their number of sexual partners. Implications and directions for future research concerning social disorganization and public health are discussed.
