CRIME AND THE TRANSITION TO PARENTHOOD: The Role of Sex and Relationship Context
2013
Overview
Research on desistance from crime has given little attention to the transition to parenthood as a 'turning point.' Parenthood might have different implications for men and women, as well as for individuals in different relationship contexts. Using a within-individual design and Norwegian register data on men and women who became parents in 1997—2001, we provide detailed descriptions of offending patterns. The results imply that, for men and women, the relative likelihood of offending declines before the birth. In the post-birth period, women's offending resumes at a lower likelihood than before the birth, while men's stabilizes at a low level. For men with no relationship to the other parent, the likelihood of offending continues to decline after the birth.
