This study applied the Triple Risk Delinquency (TRD) framework as an analytical lens to compare personal, social, and situational or opportunity risks between distinct categories of cyber-dependent offending. We drew on data from a sample of 725 Dutch students aged 12-25 (M age =16.62 years; SD = 1.99; 25.66% female) who were following IT programs, tracks, or courses in secondary or tertiary education. To address gaps in the existing literature on cyber-dependent crime, we first identified distinct subcategories of cyber-dependent offending using principal component analysis: (1) technical hacking, (2) using or creating technical tools, and (3) misuse of unauthorized access. Second, we aimed to identify and classify correlates associated with these categories, utilizing the TRD model as an organizing framework. Logistic regression models indicated that prior victimization and peer offending are consistently positively associated with all categories of cyber-dependent crime, underscoring their general significance as personal and social correlates. Offence-specific patterns emerged as well: higher IT knowledge was associated with technical hacking, whereas lower self-control was associated with misuse of unauthorized access. Opportunity risks (such as above-average risky online activities) were more salient for technical hacking and tool use than for misuse of access, and stronger parental rules related negatively to technical hacking. The differences in correlates between these three categories underscore the need for future research that differentiates between different types of cyber-dependent crime.","PeriodicalId":45772,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Developmental and Life-Course Criminology","volume":"12 1","pages":"30"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13452838/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148702568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study investigated direct, indirect, and interactive effects of neighborhood disadvantage and collective efficacy in adolescence on adult violent and non-violent criminal behaviors (age 16-29), using data from three waves of the Healthy Passages study (N = 663). We tested indirect pathways through adolescent delinquency, exposure to neighborhood violence, and perceived neighborhood disorder. Neither neighborhood disadvantage nor collective efficacy directly predicted adult violent or non-violent criminal behaviors. Results indicated that neighborhood disadvantage was associated with higher adolescent exposure to neighborhood violence and greater perceptions of neighborhood disorder, but not with adolescent delinquency. However, an indirect effect emerged, with neighborhood disadvantage related to a lower likelihood of non-violent criminal behavior via greater perceived neighborhood disorder. Adolescent delinquency robustly predicted both violent and non-violent criminal behaviors in adulthood. No significant interactive effects between neighborhood disadvantage and collective efficacy were observed. Findings underscore the complexity of neighborhood influences on crime development and suggest that adolescents' perceptions of their environments may serve as one potential mechanism linking structural disadvantage to certain long-term behavioral outcomes.Supplementary information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40865-026-00304-0.","PeriodicalId":45772,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Developmental and Life-Course Criminology","volume":"12 1","pages":"15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13121307/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147783603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We focus on the most common sanctions in terms of quantity, with emphasis on suspended imprisonment, community service, and imprisonment. The choice of sanction type is not solely based on the severity of the crime committed, but also on the offender's criminal history and assessed capability to comply with the requirements of non-custodial sanctions. Individual sentences and their justifications are always the result of judges' discretion, but a large-scale analysis of the sanction trajectories and recorded offenses preceding different sanction types provides important information about the functioning of the criminal justice system. By using detailed, whole population register data from birth cohorts 1980-1990 (N = 714,607), we analyze recorded offending trajectories preceding the offenders' first sanction type of each kind, that is, the entry to different stages of the punishment ladder. The results show that while first suspended imprisonments are not preceded by extensive criminal histories, they are rarely the first criminal justice contact. Individuals sentenced to community service or imprisonment for the first time have accumulated a large number of prior criminal convictions and crimes before receiving these sanction types, with a median of 9 and 13 prior sanctions, respectively.Supplementary information: The online version contains supplementary material available at https://doi.org/10.1007/s40865-026-00326-8.","PeriodicalId":45772,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Developmental and Life-Course Criminology","volume":"12 1","pages":"35"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13672512/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149216968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Educational attainment is a readily available metric for pupils in many countries, with performance on standardised tests often systematically collected throughout school. If changing attainment is associated with offending risk, it could present a signal to check in with pupils and offer appropriate support. We analysed an existing linkage between the National Pupil Database and the Police National Computer in England. In a cohort of 4.3 million pupils born between the academic years 1990/91 and 1996/97, we modelled trajectories of standardised attainment on statutory tests at ages 7, 11 and 16 years. We then investigated the association between these attainment trajectories and subsequent first offence convictions or cautions during young adulthood. Among pupils showing relative declines in attainment over their school career, 1 in 3 were convicted or cautioned for a first offence before the end of school, and 1 in 10 were convicted or cautioned for a first offence during young adulthood. Additionally, among pupils who performed at below average levels towards the beginning of school, their odds of offending during young adulthood were 53% higher than average attainers if their relative attainment remained low, but only 4% higher if their relative attainment improved. Noticing relative changes in attainment could provide an important opportunity to offer appropriate support and prevent engagement in offending behaviour, mitigating subsequent criminal justice involvement and related public health impacts.Supplementary information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40865-026-00309-9.","PeriodicalId":45772,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Developmental and Life-Course Criminology","volume":"12 1","pages":"23"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13348352/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148425231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on newly collected data on aging at age 62 and retrospective reports of incarceration history among a community cohort of Black men and women who have been prospectively followed from first grade (in 1966) to later life (modal age 62), this study adds to this growing literature by examining whether incarceration is associated with healthy aging, a concept that captures the aging experience through traditional indicators, such as physical and mental health conditions, as well as through indicators of functional ability and well-being, such as cognitive functioning, sleep, and hearing loss. By focusing on a first-grade, single-race cohort from the same socially-disadvantaged neighborhood, this study holds constant race, age, and early life context by design. Although largely a cross-sectional study, we also include key early life control variables in multivariable models. Results show that incarceration history is associated with less healthy aging compared to never being arrested using a global index and across many of the individual indicators. One unexpected finding is that many of these detriments are equally felt among the incarcerated and those with earlier stages of system contact (i.e., those arrested but not incarcerated). Taken together, these findings represent a first step in building scholarship on the association between criminal legal system contact and healthy aging, broadly defined, from a life course perspective and provide direction for future research in this emerging area.Supplementary information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40865-025-00286-5.","PeriodicalId":45772,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Developmental and Life-Course Criminology","volume":"11 1-4","pages":"345-366"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12756256/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145901282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comparatively, callous-unemotional traits predicted only the thrill of violent crime but not non-violent crime. Additionally, the association between peer delinquency and the thrill of non-violent crime waned as participants aged, suggesting a decreased susceptibility to peer influence over time. These individual differences, paired with these socially transmitted beliefs from peers, highlight how thrilling perceptions of crime may be reinforced by youth's characteristics or vicariously through their peers. However, while youth may age out of susceptibility to peer influence, these other influences sustained across age. These findings advance our understanding of the persistence and influence of adolescents' experiences in shaping thrilling perceptions of crime, hinting at potential mechanisms that contribute to antisocial behavior.","PeriodicalId":45772,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Developmental and Life-Course Criminology","volume":"11 1-4","pages":"97-122"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12756195/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145901254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data from the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development (n = 2,120 youth; 49.1% female) and path analyses, we tested whether peer victimization (at 10–12 years) mediated the associations between psychopathic traits in childhood (at 6–8 years) and depression symptoms in adolescence (at 15–17 years). We also examined if the association between psychopathic traits and peer victimization was moderated by child sex, anxiety symptoms, and physical aggression. Teachers assessed psychopathic traits and peer victimization in childhood. Participants reported on their depression symptoms in adolescence. Findings showed that the association between childhood psychopathic traits and depression symptoms in adolescence was mainly indirect and (partly) operated via peer victimization. This indirect association appeared to be particularly salient for children who manifested low levels of physical aggression. The association between psychopathic traits and later depression symptoms via peer victimization could be less typical of children with high levels of physical aggression.

Prior scholarship has identified family rejection as a risk factor for poor mental, physical, and social outcomes and family acceptance as a protective factor. However, little scholarship has considered the developmental role of family reaction to LGBTQ + identity on offending and desistance trajectories or explored the experiences with family reaction among LGBTQ + people who have had contact with the criminal legal system. This paper addresses this gap in the literature by centering the role of family reaction to LGBTQ + identity among formerly incarcerated LGBTQ + people. More specifically, this paper draws on original data collected from life history interviews with 25 formerly incarcerated LGBTQ + people. This qualitative work considers (1) their experiences with family reactions, (2) family reaction as a developmental turning point, and (3) navigating the criminal legal system with complex family dynamics. Findings indicated that the majority of the sample encountered some form of rejection (subtle and/or explicit) from their families, which was shaped by other LGBTQ + family members and generational, structural, religious, and political factors. Family reaction functioned as a developmental turning point that impacted offending (rejection) and desistance (acceptance). This work holds important policy implications, including the need for support groups for LGBTQ + people experiencing family rejection inside and outside of criminal legal contexts.","PeriodicalId":45772,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Developmental and Life-Course Criminology","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142219775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results of a four-equation path analysis revealed that while a change in time spent on homework did not have a direct effect on later delinquency, the indirect effect was significant when unsupervised routine activities served as a first-stage mediator and cognitive and moral agency served as second-stage mediators. Hence, spending an increased amount of time on homework was associated with a concurrent decrease in unsupervised routine activities with friends and led to increased levels of cognitive and moral agency in serious delinquent youth, which, in turn, appeared to contribute to heightened levels of future desistance.
