Sampson and Laub's theory of life course criminology suggests that marriage is not a single turning point that leads to desistance from crime, but rather part of a potential causal dynamic over the life course. This means that marriage is just one of many factors that can contribute to reducing criminal behavior over time. The other options (serving in the military during wartime, getting a new job, and residential change) may also have some impact on criminal behavior, but are not specifically identified as part of the life course dynamic studied by Sampson and Laub.
