Marriage and desistance from crime in the Netherlands: do gender and socio-historical context matter
Over the last two decades, research examining desistance from crime in
adulthood has steadily increased. The evidence from this body of research consistently
demonstrates that salient life events—in particular, marriage—are associated with a
reduction of offending across the life course. However, previous studies have been largely
limited to male samples in the United States. As a result, questions regarding the universal
effect of these relationships remain. Specifically, research is needed to assess whether the
desistance effect of life events like marriage varies by gender and/or socio-historical
context in countries other than the U.S. The present research addresses these gaps by
examining the relationship between marriage and criminal offending using data from the
Criminal Career and Life Course Study (CCLS). The CCLS includes criminal conviction
histories spanning a large portion of the life course for nearly 5,000 men and women
convicted in the Netherlands in 1977. Because we assess change over multiple observations
within and between individuals, we utilize hierarchical models to estimate gender and
contextual effects of marriage on criminal offending (i.e., any, violent, and property
convictions). Overall, we find consistent support for the idea that marriage reduces
offending across gender and socio-historical context. Notably, we find that the reduction in
the odds of offending due to marriage is significantly greater for individuals in the most
contemporary context. The implications of these findings are discussed.
