“…However, this decision alone was not enough to successfully end a long criminal career. In agreement with other studies of desistance we identified stable relationships, care of children and decreased alcohol and substance use as protective factors (Hughes, 1998;Kerner, Weitekamp, Stelly, & Thomas, 1997;Laub, Nagin, & Sampson, 1998). However, some of the findings in this study were unexpected.…”

“…Eight studies [29] – [36] focused on the association between financial debt and crime. Overall, the vast majority of effect sizes indicated that debt is significantly associated with criminal behavior in adolescents and young adults ( Table 2 ).…”

Financial debt in young people has increased in recent years. Because debt may have severe consequences, and it may enhance criminal behavior, insight into the prevalence and determinants of debt and its association with crime is important. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 36 manuscripts to examine the prevalence of financial debt (k = 23), correlates and risk factors of debt (k = 16), and associations between debt and criminal behavior in adolescents and young adults (k = 8). Findings revealed that the prevalence of debt is substantial among young people; on average, 49% reported to have at least some debt, 22% had financial problems. Older participants and ethnic minorities were found to have higher levels of debt than younger and indigenous counterparts. Females had more financial problems and higher student loans. Low self-esteem, a pro-debt attitude (of young people and their parents), lack of perceived control towards financial management, poor social functioning, financial stress and external locus of control were found to have the strongest associations with debt. Studies reported strong associations between debt and crime. Particularly, strong associations were found between serious and persistent crime in young people and later (young adult) debt or financial problems.

“…From the perspective of policy or practice, limiting the study of desistance to the study of change in only one particular behavior or set of behaviors would be of limited usefulness because it would not take into account the process of crime substitution (e.g., where a rapist desists from committing rape but increases his involvement in armed robbery). Desistance might occur in different ways or at different ages for specific behaviors (LeBlanc & Loeber, 1998;Warr, 1998), or it might be a broader process or reorientation to a whole set of activities (Kerner, Weitekamp, Stelly, & Thomas, 1997), and investigating this question is essential to the development of comprehensive theory in this area. Thus, measuring change over time across several different types of antisocial behavior and relating these patterns of change to each other is necessary to make the distinction between behavior specific and more global desistance.…”

Improving juvenile court decision making requires information about how serious adolescent offenders desist from antisocial activity. A systematic research agenda on this topic requires consideration of several processes, including normative development in late adolescence, what constitutes desistance, and the factors likely to promote the end of involvement in antisocial behavior and successful adjustment in early adulthood. This article presents an overview of the major points to consider in pursuing this research agenda. Keywordsdesistance from crime; juvenile delinquency careers; stopping antisocial behaviorWe have always expected a great deal from the juvenile justice system. On one hand, the system is charged with keeping communities safe, using theories and approaches-such as deterrence or incapacitation-that are common to the criminal justice system. In recent years, juvenile courts have the added responsibility to ensure that its responses are proportional, making sure NIH Public Access
