本文利用 1949 年出生并跟踪至 25 岁的一组男性的警方接触数据，研究了逮捕对未来犯罪活动的影响。审查两个问题。逮捕是否会放大或阻止被捕者未来的犯罪活动？被捕对未来犯罪的影响是否因警方接触顺序中逮捕发生的位置而异：例如，被捕对新手或经验丰富的罪犯未来犯罪活动的影响更大吗？借鉴“犯罪生涯”的视角，我们将未来犯罪分为不同的组成部分，例如未来犯罪率、犯罪活跃期的持续时间以及不再犯罪。出现的证据比标签观点更符合特定的威慑立场。
Using data on police contacts for a cohort of males born in 1949 andfollowed until age 25, this paper examines the influence of arrest on future criminal activity. Two questions are examined. Does arrest amplify or deter the future criminal activity of those arrested? Does the influence of being arrested on future offending vary by where arrest occurs in the sequence of police contacts: for example, does being arrested have more influence on the future criminal activity of novice or experienced offenders? Drawing on the "criminal career" perspective, we partition future offending into distinct components, such as rate of future offending, duration of a criminally active period, and desistence from future offending. Evidence emerges that is more consistent with a specific deterrence position than a labeling perspective.
