Different Theorists on Criminal Behavior
Not what you're looking for?
Some recent support for the concept of criminal career pathways was put forward by Sheila Royo Maxwell and Christopher Maxwell in their study of the career paths of young female offenders. One distinct group consisted of women who used drugs and engaged in a variety of illegal activities, including theft and prostitution, to generate capital for further drug purchases.
