Abstract
Many crimes are committed by more than one offender, meaning that viewing an individual offender as a unit of analysis to understand crime does not tell the whole story. In new research, Brendan Lantz uses ten years of burglary offending data to examine how offender ties impact individual behavior. He finds that co-offender groups vary in their connectedness, that these connections significantly impact the likelihood of offending, and the impact of an arrest on offending depends on whether or not it is the instigator of a crime being arrested.
