520 $a These findings are provocative and suggest that trajectories leading to adult criminality may be differentially motivated by gender, housing and mental health status.
520 $a A quantitative approach was taken to better understand risk factors for adult crime across groups with varying life circumstances and to learn how to reduce crime among populations with housing and mental health issues. The goal was to determine whether certain childhood and adolescent antecedents played a role in which trajectories were entered and whether crimes were committed or not. Secondary analysis of data was employed for two data sets of indigent urban adults from New York City. One study comprised subjects with schizophrenia and one without schizophrenia, with 400 subjects in each study, stratified primarily by housing status and gender. The Nonschizophrenia cohort was the focus of this thesis since the sample more closely resembled the model being tested, adapted from the Simons et al. (1998) population, which did not have a mental health component. However, findings for both studies are discussed.
520 $a Two antisocial theories, Latent Trait Theory (LTT) and Life Course Theory (LCT), were tested against each other to determine which theory better accounted for pathways from childhood to adult crime. Linear and logistic regressions were set-up in elaborate tables, designed to test these theories.
520 $a Findings across studies yield distinct implications for LCT and LTT. Across both studies, adolescent school problems, as well as lifetime drug abuse/dependence present as major risk factors for adult criminality and indicate independent pathways to crime, supporting LCT. Interestingly, the number of crimes committed across studies indicates that LCT is supported in instances where few crimes are committed, which was prevalent among the majority of both study samples; however, LTT is supported by a subgroup of repeat offenders. In terms of childhood antecedent risk factors, although subjects who had early adverse childhood experiences tended to have poorer family nurturance outcomes, those who were raised outside of their biological home during adolescence were much more likely to have a lack of family nurturance.
520 $a Risk for poor educational outcomes varied by gender. Males in both studies were more likely to have school problems if they had experienced early adverse outcomes in childhood. On the contrary, women across studies indicated different risk factors for school problems. Women without schizophrenia were more likely to have a history of conduct problems, whereas women with schizophrenia were more likely to have both early adverse experiences and out of home placement.
