Which explanation for the “marriage effect” on crime did you find most convincing? Do you think it is a direct effect in making someone stop their criminal activities? Do you think it is a natural aging out selection process? Do you think it is an indirect peer effect? A combination? Or something entirely different than the 3 explanations? Provide logical and sound reasons for your response.
