The meaning of work: Conceptualizing the deterrent effect of employment on crime among young adults
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted to examine the influence of employment characteristics and other age-appropriate investments on young adults' participation in both violent and property crime. The findings suggest that quality of employment has a stronger influence on individuals' involvement in both economic and noneconomic criminal behavior than do income, job stability, educational achievement and a variety of background factors.
