TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Labeling and cumulative disadvantage the impact of formal police intervention on life chances and crime during emerging adulthood JO - Crime and delinquency A1 - Lopes, Giza A1 - Krohn, Marvin D.

This study partakes in that revitalization by examining direct and indirect effects of police intervention in the lives of adolescents who were followed into their 30s. The authors find that early police intervention is indirectly related to drug use at the ages of 29 to 31, as well as unemployment and welfare receipt. Given that such effects were found some 15 years after the labeling event, on criminal and noncriminal outcomes, and after controlling for intraindividual factors, the authors conclude that the labeling perspective is still relevant within a developmental framework.
