Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: A small portion of youth, approximately 20,000 per year reach the age of majority while in foster care. This paper discusses the associations between early life experiences and later persistence in criminal activities in youth who “age out”of care. Although these individuals are expected to function independently they are at risk for persistent offending due to attachment issues exacerbated by family or home factors such as parental drug involvement, poor parental supervision, neglect, family violence and child abuse. Life course issues such as comparative age of independence, educational level and employment are also related to persistence in criminal activity. First, I describe foster care and the process of transition to independent living. Second, I discuss two of the models which predict persistence problems. Third, I discuss studies that have been done, citing the limitations and strengths of these studies.
