How Context Matters in the Life Course: Racial Composition, Collective Efficacy, and Life Transitions
Thu, Nov 14, 12:30 to 1:50pm, Pacific B - 4th LevelSession Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract/Description
The recognition that lives are spatially situated has a long history in criminology. Research in this area has largely looked to structural sources to explain variation in the likelihood of offending across place. Yet, the field still grapples with the processes that underly this variation. This panel exploits innovative perspectives and analytic approaches to explore how contextual influences shape offending behavior across the life course. Papers examine how variation in contextual composition and collective efficacy within spaces shape youth offending and how context matters for understanding life transitions and desistance.
