Document Summary
The social, family, and psychological experiences that are believed to increase the probability that an individual will engage in persistent criminal behaviour. Examines the changes and influences across a persons life consider parenting, peer interaction and school experiences: not all criminal behaviour originates in childhood. The life course of all humans follow a path, or trajectory, that may be littered with risk factors: adult onset. Risk factors: the social, family, and psychological experiences that are believed to increase the probability that an individual will engage in persistent criminal behaviour, school failure, abuse of alcohol or drugs, antisocial peers, childhood victimization. Cumulative risk model: multiple risk factors, the accumulation of risk factors in the absence of sufficient protective factors (resilience) results in negative behavioural, emotional, and cognitive outcomes. Emphasizes the interaction among risk factors and their effect on outcome over the course of development. A direct result of association with deviant peer groups.
