Abstract

Why do young people engage in acts of crime and what is it that drives their criminal careers? These are the key questions addressed in Character, Circumstances, and Criminal Careers which explores and explains people’s criminal careers through adolescence into young adulthood. Guided by Situational Action Theory (SAT)’s Developmental Ecological Action (DEA) model, the work analyses longitudinal data from the Peterborough Adolescent and Young Adult Development Study (PADS+), testing various hypotheses about the causes and drivers of people’s crime involvement and criminal careers. Character, Circumstances, and Criminal Careers makes an argument for a more dynamic Developmental and Life Course criminology (DLC) by exploring the relationship between childhood predictors, such as social disadvantage and social adversity, and different trajectories of crime involvement. It also presents a special analysis of the age–crime curve and its explanation. The book includes the most recent and updated statement of SAT and its DEA model, including comparisons between the basic assumptions and propositions of SAT and selected major criminological theories (social bond and self-control theories, differential association and learning theories, rational choice theory, and the theory of moral disengagement). Character, Circumstances, and Criminal Careers presents an original theory, a uniquely detailed contemporary longitudinal study, and novel research methods and analytical techniques, and applies these to derive innovative findings about the relationship between individual and environmental factors across a critical developmental period.
