This week we talk with John Laub, professor emeritus in the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of Maryland. We begin by getting into John's origin story and how his career as a decorated scholar came to be. We also discuss the book John and Rob Sampson (Ep. 38) "Shared Beginnings, Divergent Lives". The book was a true undertaking as they tracked down people who had been involved in a study decades prior. John also discusses the changes that were made to the Age-graded Theory of Informal Social Control. Finally, John gives us his thoughts on the state of the field and were he would like to see it go.
John Laub has been published in journals such as Criminology, Crime and Justice, and Law and Society Review.
