Abstract
It ought to be noted that turning point, one of the main ideas in the life course theory, is at present not studied sufficiently in the domain of life course criminology. A turning point frequently entails a specific event, experience or awareness leading to changes towards a pathway or uninterrupted route over the course of a long period of time. Desistance from crime is a complex process. This article includes: (1) a description of the main features of literature relevant to the concept of turning points from the perspective of life course and developmental criminology, in particular starting a family (2) surveys literature concerning turning points, in particular the role of women in inhibiting the criminal activities of their men (3) takes into account methodological discussions and proposes fields for subsequent studies of turning points.
