Group Processes and Crime: New Insights on Gangs, Peers and Co-offending
Wed, Nov 16, 2:00 to 3:20pm, Hilton, Grand Ballroom B, 1st LevelSession Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract
Group processes are widely recognized as some of the most important correlates of criminal behavior. This session explores some new issues on how group influence is affected by individual and contextual factors. Participants examine how gang involvement and delinquent peer exposure change over the life-course, how neighborhood characteristics affect rates of co-offending, and the degree at which there is between- and within-individual differences in deviant peer thresholds for crime commission.
