Abstract:
Although the literature has generated a large body of knowledge on the onset of criminal activity, much remains unknown about the normative process of desistance. A number of longitudinal studies have suggested that deviant behavior and social control are linked to desistance. However, few studies have simultaneously integrated measures of self-control, deviant behavior and social control. This study investigates desistance from self-reported criminal activity among a sample of French-Canadian males and interviewed on various occasions through midlife. Latent trajectory modeling was used to test two models, the launch- and contemporaneous-effect models, accounting for the effects of deviant behavior and measures of self and social control on desistance. The launch-effect model suggests that very few self or social control variables can predict trajectories of desistance from crime over a 25-year period. The contemporaneous-effect model reveals that some measures of self and social control accelerate (or restrain) the desistance process, but only at specific developmental periods.
