“…adolescence) in which rapid, almost frenetic changes are occurring. As discussed earlier, being labeled a juvenile delinquent when an adolescent is striving for “age-appropriate autonomy” (Conger, 1991) is likely to disrupt normative transitions from adolescence to early adulthood in various life domains— from negative self-perception, lack of school education, to opposing relationships with conventional peers and the surrounding environment (Bernburg, 2009; Krohn et al, 2014; Paternoster & Iovanni, 1989). Thus, it is possible that, despite its importance, perceived social support from primary caregivers simply cannot override those overwhelmingly deleterious forces.…”

“…The variable is a dichotomy indicating “1” for any arrest and “0” for no arrest. This cumulative binary indicator has been widely used in labeling research, and has predicted problematic outcomes in previous studies (Bernburg & Krohn, 2003; Bernburg, Krohn, & Rivera, 2006; Krohn, Lopes, & Ward, 2014; Lopes et al, 2012) 7 .…”

“…Link et al (1989) noted that another reason life chances for those labeled mentally ill diminished was because they suffer from social withdrawal following the anticipated rejection of others. A number of studies have examined the effect of official intervention on subsequent life chances (Bernburg & Krohn, 2003; Chiricos et al, 2007; Ciaravolo, 2011; Harris & Keller, 2005; Hay et al, 2012; Johnson, Simons, & Conger, 2004; Krohn, Lopes, & Ward, 2014; Lopes et al, 2012; Pager, 2003; Restivo & Lanier, 2015; Schmidt, Lopes, Krohn, & Lizotte, 2015), finding support for the indirect effect of official intervention on subsequent crime.…”

Purpose Previous research on the labeling perspective has identified mediational processes and the long-term effects of official intervention in the life course. However, it is not yet clear what factors may moderate the relationship between labeling and subsequent offending. The current study integrates Cullen’s (1994) social support theory to examine how family social support conditions the criminogenic, stigmatizing effects of official intervention on delinquency and whether such protective effects vary by developmental stage. Methods Using longitudinal data from the Rochester Youth Development Study, we estimated negative binomial regression models to investigate the relationships between police arrest, family social support, and criminal offending during both adolescence and young adulthood. Results Police arrest is a significant predictor of self-reported delinquency in both the adolescent and adult models. Expressive family support exhibits main effects in the adolescent models; instrumental family support exhibits main effects at both developmental stages. Additionally, instrumental family support diminishes some of the predicted adverse effects of official intervention in adulthood. Conclusions Perception of family support can be critical in reducing general delinquency as well as buffering against the adverse effects of official intervention on subsequent offending. Policies and programs that work with families subsequent to a criminal justice intervention should emphasize the importance of providing a supportive environment for those who are labeled.

“…Studies show variation in offenders' hope and optimism about their future prospects (Maruna 2001;LeBel et al 2008;Benson et al 2011). There is also evidence consistent with the view that stigma from official labels leads offenders to lose conventional bonds and be exposed to criminal influences, thus increasing the risk of recidivism (Krohn, Lopes, and Ward 2014;Raphael 2014). However, given the social stigma and legal consequences associated with being an "ex-offender," a clear need exists for sustained analysis of how these factors affect reentry prospects.…”

“…Furthermore, there are concerns that punishment itself can be traumatising, causing further alienation from society and potentially increasing risks of reoffending. Adolescence represents a period of identity acquisition, and research shows that even low-scale contact with the criminal justice system can have a paradoxical effect of increasing recidivism (McAra & McVie, 2007;Farrington, Osborn, & West, 1978;Krohn, Lopes, & Ward, 2014;Murray, Blokland, Farrington, & Theobald, 2014;Petrosino, Turpin-Petrosino, & Guckenburg, 2010)…”
