Session Submission Summary

Antisocial Behaviour, Violence, and Offending Across the Life-Course

Wed, Nov 16, 3:30 to 4:50pm, Hilton, Grand Salon 9, 1st Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract

This panel includes a series of four papers that have the collective aim of explaining crime over the life-course. The first paper presents an examination of boys’ childhood protective factors against adolescent violence, demonstrating the importance of high academic achievement in protecting against violence. The second paper shifts focus to look at internal motivations for offending at various stages of the criminal career, in a sample of incarcerated men. The third paper focuses on the outcomes of ongoing antisocial behaviour, by examining both males’ and females’ life success at age 30. The final paper in the panel examines the impact of labelling on the intergenerational transmission of offending.
