Age-Related Crime Patterns Explained by stewietunny is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Young people between the ages of 14-25 have the most opportunities to commit crimes due to spending time in public areas like shops, offices, and on the streets. As people get older they take on more responsibilities like careers and families, which discourages criminal behavior because jail would negatively impact those responsibilities. Young people are also more likely to commit petty, impulsive crimes in public and social settings involving drinking and drugs compared to more planned crimes by adults.
