This course will introduce students to the study of crime and deviance within a life course framework. Students will examine the ways in which involvement in antisocial behavior develops and changes from childhood into adulthood (and between generations). Within the life course framework, we will apply prominent criminological theories (e.g., low self-control theory, social learning theory, social bond theory) to different stages of life to examine the way in which these perspectives help us understand correlates of crime over the life course. Topics covered in this course include the role of parents and peers in the progression of delinquency, the transition to adulthood, and the role of turning points (such as marriage and employment) in redirecting one's criminal trajectory.
