Criminology Sociology delinquency peers romantic partners criminal behavior differential association life course domains late adolescence early adulthood Sociological and criminological research has emphasized the role of delinquent peers and romantic partners on involvement in delinquent activities. In this study, I analyzed the effect of delinquent domains in late adolescence on criminal activity in early adulthood. I hypothesized that individuals with multiple delinquent domains would report higher levels of criminal activity compared to those with one or no delinquent domains. I also hypothesized that for those with one delinquent domain, differences exist in levels of criminal activity between those reporting delinquent peers or delinquent romantic partners. Finally, I hypothesized that the delinquent domains on criminal activity may differ for young adult men and women. Drawing on the longitudinal data of the Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study (n = 801), I analyzed the effect of delinquent social domains in adolescence on criminal behavior in young adulthood. Having delinquent domains during late adolescence is significantly related to engagement in criminal activity during young adulthood, net of control variables. In addition, having both highly delinquent peers and romantic partners, compared with just one delinquent affiliation, was related to higher levels of criminal activity. The effect of peers on criminal activity was stronger than the effect of delinquent romantic partners. Further, the association between delinquent domains and criminal activity was different for men and women with both highly delinquent peers and romantic partners during late adolescence. My findings offer support for the “long reach” of late adolescent delinquent domains on subsequent criminal activity. 2018-04-20 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1522942588938363 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1522942588938363 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
