John Laub
Professor John Laub is collaborating with Principal Investigator Per-Olof Wikström to examine the relationship between religion and crime involvement in the PADS+ sample. PADS+ data offers an opportunity to examine the relationship between religion and crime involvement among adolescent and young adults in a longitudinal framework taking into account other key life course domains such as family, school, and peers. Understanding this relationship, and particularly the role of morality, has important implications for criminological theory and crime prevention strategies.
Background
John Laub is Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is also a Visiting Scholar at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University. In 1996, he was named a fellow of the American Society of Criminology, served as the President of the American Society of Criminology in 2002-2003, and received the Edwin H. Sutherland Award from the American Society of Criminology in 2005. He was named a Distinguished Scholar-Teacher at the University of Maryland for the 2006-2007 academic year.
His research areas include crime and deviance over the life course, juvenile delinquency and juvenile justice, and the history of criminology. He has published widely, co-authoring Crime in the making: Pathways and turning points through life (Harvard University Press, 1993) and Shared beginnings, divergent lives: Delinquent boys to age 70 (Harvard University Press, 2003) with Robert J. Sampson, both of which analyse longitudinal data from a long-term follow-up study of juvenile offenders from a classic study by Sheldon and Eleanor Glueck. Both books won the Albert J. Reiss, Jr. Distinguished Book Award from the American Sociological Association's Crime, Law, and Deviance Section; the Oustanding Book Award from the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences; and the Michael J. Hindelang Book Award from the American Society of Criminology.
