SFU Differential Association and General Strain Theory Discussion
Question Description
I’m working on a social science discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Read the following two documents of “Kirk, D.S. (2012). Residential change as a turning point in the life course of crime: Desistance or temporary cessation?Links to an external site. Criminology, 50(2), 329–358. doi:10.1111/j.1745-9125.2011.00262.x” P329-358
And a presentation about this article.
Answer the following two discussion questions:
1. Other than differential association and general strain theory, are there any theories that could be used to explain the results from this study?
2. Do you think that the evidence presented in this article is sufficient to support Sampson and Laub’s age-graded theory of informal social control? Why or why not?
