Preface This volume brings together a sample of the best of the studies that illustrate two recent trends in research on deviant behavior. The first of these trends is the investigation of deviant behavior in longitudinal perspective. Panels of subjects are followed over long periods of time to establish temporal relationships be tween deviant behavior and the antecedents and consequences of deviant behav ior. The second trend in contemporary research on deviance is the recognition of the association among forms of deviant behavior such as violence, drug abuse, and theft. The recognition of the covariation among forms of deviance stimulated questions regarding the nature of the relationships among multiple forms of de viance. Is one form of deviant behavior a cause or a consequence of other forms of deviant behavior? What variables mediate and moderate such causal relation ships? Do different forms of deviant behavior have common antecedents and consequences? Independent of the foregoing relationships, do particular forms of deviant behavior have unique antecedents and consequences? The eight original research studies that, along with the introduction and overview, constitute this volume are based on data drawn from among the most influential longitudinal studies in the general area of deviant behavior. These studies variously consider common and pattern-specific antecedents and conse quences, reciprocal influences, and intervening and moderating variables in causal relationships among drug use, crime, and other forms of deviance. Earlier versions of four of the research contributions were presented as part of a panel on "Drug Abuse and Crime in Longitudinal Perspective" at the 44th Annual Meetings of the American Society of Criminology in New Orleans, in November 1992. This panel, chaired by the editor of this volume, was organized in anticipation of the preparation of this volume. These four papers, together with the other four invited research reports, have in common that they use data from longitudinal studies to address questions regarding the nature of the rela tionships among various forms of deviance in addition to more general questions about other psychosocial antecedents and consequences of deviant response pat terns. The eight research reports use similar formats in which the theoretical and empirical bases for the research, methods, results, and discussion are presented ix x Preface in tum. Collectively, these contributions constitute a cumulative body of knowl edge, suggest emerging trends in research on deviant behavior, and define la cunae that make up the research agenda for the coming decades concerning the nature of the relationships among drugs, crime, and other deviant adaptations to stress, and the nature of their common and pattern-specific antecedents and con sequences. Acknowledgments The preparation of this volume was accomplished in the course of research supported by research grant ROI DA02497 and Research Scientist Award K05 DAOOl36 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse to the editor. I am grateful to "Sam" McLean for her usual competence, diligence, and dedication in the preparation of this volume. I happily acknowledge also the many good services of the editorial staff of Plenum Press.
