Summary
Poverty did not significantly moderate the criminal justice system
Area of Science:
- Criminology
- Sociology
- Economics
Background:
- Extensive research links poverty to crime and criminal justice system involvement.
- Gaps remain regarding poverty's moderating role on criminal behavior and criminogenic influences.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate if adolescent poverty moderates the impact of antisocial behavior and criminogenic factors on adult criminal justice processing.
Main Methods:
- Examined the moderating effect of poverty on the relationship between adolescent antisocial behavior/criminogenic influences and adult arrest, conviction, and incarceration.
Main Results:
- Found limited evidence for poverty as a moderator in criminal justice processing.
- Antisocial behavior was not associated with incarceration among individuals in poverty.
- Antisocial behavior was significantly associated with increased incarceration for individuals not in poverty.
Conclusions:
- Poverty's moderating influence on the link between antisocial behavior and incarceration is complex.
- Findings contribute to the understanding of the poverty-crime nexus and its implications for criminal justice.

According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people.

This model proposes that individuals with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia may develop the disorder following exposure to significant environmental stressors. Notably, studies on high-risk...

Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Deindividuation is a form of social influence on an individual’s behavior such that the individual engages in unusual or non-normal behavior while in a group setting. Why? Because in these group settings, the individual no longer sees themselves as an individual anymore, disinhibiting their behavior and personal restraint.
