Effects of Youth Crime
Lecture Outline
Research Paper: smoking weed, underage drinking, speeding (Adolescent limited offender)
(Emma or Anthony, Lisa or Sarah ??) Use some of the additional readings. Focus more on
interpretation rather than quote. Don’t ask why someone committed their offenses. Can add a
trajectory of individual (not too large) Question 3 & 4 where most writing should be done.
Reference page included in 10 pages, so at least full 9 pages. Not going to get a good grade if the
majority of the paper is a story. Break up the story and identify key factors that leads to stability
and change.

Cumulative Continuity v. Cumulative Disadvantage
Cumulative continuity: Behavior at one point in life influences opportunity and behavior later in

Sampson and Laub

a person to succeed in life
Did the turning point create something to make the person change? Or had the person changed
perspective to be able to be changed by the turning point
