Studies have identified both stability and change in criminal
behavior across time. While most youth mature out of delinquency in
their late teens and early adulthood, some juvenile delinquents
persist in their criminal behavior with increased frequency and
severity. Researchers are often confronted with this question: "Why
will some youth continue their criminal behavior over time, when
the majority of their peers have made the transition to
conformity?'' Based on a longitudinal sample of previously
institutionalized youth, this work examines and tests alternative
perspectives on life course persistent criminal behavior. Findings
of this work highlight several important factors that affect
persistent criminal behavior. Demographic differences in pathways
to persistent criminal behavior, such as gender and race variations
are also discussed. The book is addressed to researchers and
students in Juvenile Delinquency, Criminology and Sociology. It is
also directed towards professionals in Criminal Justice,
Corrections, and Social Work.
