Reihe: Longitudinal Research in the Social and Behavioral Sciences: An Interdisciplinary Series

To conduct the study on criminal and antisocial behavior at the center of this volume, the authors devoted years to collecting data from a large community sample of first-generation subjects. Data were garnered throughout their early adolescence, twenties, and thirties as well as from these first-generation subjects’ biological children during their own early adolescence. The results of these studies have profound implications for future research and methodology on deviant behavior. This book presents an integrative theory of deviant behavior, synthesizing social stress, social control, societal labeling, and other perspectives. It describes the intergenerational cycle of deviant behaviour and identifies the relationship between deviance and its significant correlates (e.g., self-rejection). The book offers well-rounded insights to a wide range of professional readers, including sociologists, criminologists, and specialists in developmental and abnormal psychology and psychiatry.
