“…Rather, crime is related to the timing of entry into marriage. Specifically, criminal involvement leads to an earlier transition to marriage in both Norway and the UK (Lyngstad & Skardhamar 2015;Schoon & Mullin 2016). However, these results seem to hold only for adult behaviors, as adolescent risky behaviors (including crime) have no effect on early marriage in a US sample (Thornberry et al 2015).…”

“…However, as Zoutewelle-Terovan et al (2015) show for the Netherlands, a history of crime in young adulthood reduces the likelihood of engagement in a relationship of any type (marriage, cohabitation or non-cohabitation). Schoon and Mullin (2016), on the other hand, find the surprising outcome that UK men who have been persistent offenders are more likely to be living with a spouse and child(ren) at age 30, and that women who have offended only during adolescence are more likely to be in a stable relationship.…”

“…Marriage outcomes are studied by Lyngstad and Skardhamar (2015), Besemer, Farrington and Theobald (2016), Schoon and Mullin (2016) and Thornberry et al (2015). Generally, these studies find that crime (in adolescence and later life) is not related to the overall likelihood that someone enters a marital union.…”

“…However, their study also reveals that a high frequency involvement in property, violent and drug related offenses for men leads to an earlier transition to parenthood within marriage, whereas for women only a high frequency involvement in violent crime speeds up the entry into parenthood. The UK study of Schoon and Mullin (2016) reveals that among the different types of offender groups (adolescent limited, persistent and late onset), only individuals in the persistent crime group are more likely to live with a partner and have children at age 30 (compared to the non-criminal group).…”

“…Huschek and Blokland (2015) also find that all types of crime frequency are associated with an earlier transition to parenthood, but that this effect is stronger for the most criminally active men. The study of Schoon and Mullin (2016) focuses on the influence of crime on teenage parenthood in the UK and finds that, for men, all types of criminal involvement (adolescent limited, persistent and late onset) increase the risk of teen parenthood, whereas for women only persistent crime predicts this outcome. It is interesting that all these studies, conducted on different countries and on different samples (Lyngstad & Skardhamar 2015 - Intergenerational effects have been investigated as well, with some contradictory results.…”

Introduction: Precocious transitions can create stress by placing excessive demands on adolescents and are associated with adverse outcomes that extend into adulthood. The current study assessed whether exposure to parental intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with adolescent precocious transitions to adulthood.Methods: Data come from 33,360 individuals aged 18+ years in the United States who participated in the National Epidemiologic Surveys of Alcohol and Related Conditions. Six precocious transitions (leaving home early, early sex, early marriage, early parenthood, early full-time employment, and dropping out of high school) were examined. Robust Poisson regression was used to calculate relative risks for the association between IPV exposure and each precocious transition, adjusting for confounders. We assessed effect modification by gender and by exposure to childhood abuse or neglect.Results: Participants exposed to IPV in childhood were at higher risk of engaging in early sex; dropping out of high school; entering into early full-time employment; entering into early marriage; and entering into early parenthood relative to participants not exposed to IPV. Significant interactions between gender and exposure to IPV were detected for early sex and early full-time work outcomes, such that the associations were stronger for females compared to males. Participants exposed to more frequent or more severe IPV in childhood were at even higher risk for experiencing precocious transitions.Conclusions: Individuals exposed to IPV in childhood are more likely to experience precocious transitions to adulthood. Findings highlight the need for interventions to mitigate adverse outcomes in adolescence for children exposed to IPV.

Criminal justice involvement, transition to fatherhood, and the demographic foundation of the intergenerational transmission of crime

Most analyses of the intergenerational transmission of criminal justice contacts compare outcomes of the second generation to the criminal history of the first generation. Ignoring the demographic process underlying transmission introduces selection bias into estimates insofar as the first generation's criminal history affects the family formation and the probability of parenthood. I study how differential selection into fatherhood across criminal histories may affect prospective transmission of criminal justice convictions. I use administrative data on the complete fertility patterns and criminal justice history all Danish men born during 1965–1973 and retrospective odds-ratio estimates of intergenerational transmission of criminal justice contacts to estimate prospective transmission of crime and the impact of differential fertility on cohort criminal justice involvement. Seriousness of criminal justice involvement is associated with earlier transition to fatherhood but ultimately higher levels of childlessness. The findings suggest that the existing retrospective estimates of the intergenerational transmission of criminal justice contacts overestimate the population level dynastic transmission. Ignoring differential fertility across criminal justice history leads to upward-biased estimates of how criminal justice involvement is maintained across generations when using retrospective sources. Population-level description of fertility trends has substantial implication for theoretical understanding of how transmission of offending occurs at the population level.
