The criminogenic and psychological effects of police stops on adolescent black and Latino boys

TL;DR: It is found that adolescent boys who are stopped by police report more frequent engagement in delinquent behavior 6, 12, and 18 months later, independent of prior delinquency, a finding that is consistent with labeling and life course theories.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human Agency and Explanations of Criminal Desistance: Arguments for a Rational Choice Theory

TL;DR: The authors provide a critical theoretical assessment of both the age-graded informal social control theory of desistance and the theory of cognitive and emotional transformation, illuminating the critical theoretical omissions and empirical inconsistencies in each.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The authors provided an empirical assessment of individual subjective considerations in desistance by looking at the relationship between good identities, intentional self-change, and desistance using survival time data from a sample of serious drug-troubled adult offenders released from prison whose arrest records are followed for almost a 20-year period.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the utility of identity theory of desistance (ITD) in explaining desistance in a contemporary cohort of adult drug-involved offenders was investigated. But the study was limited to a mixed-race sample of offenders who were released from prison in the early 1990s and re-interviewed in 2009 through 2011.
