What is the difference between transitions and trajectories, and how do these relate to the developmental model proposed by Sampson and Laub?
What will be an ideal response?
Transitions are events important in altering trajectories toward or away from crime, such as marriage or employment. Trajectories are paths people take in life, often due to life transitions. Sampson and Laub proposed that certain life events or changes can alter an individual’s decisions to commit (or not commit) criminal actions. Therefore, individuals who were once on a path toward a consistent form of behavior suddenly halt this behavior.
