Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As people age, they tend to have more commitments such as careers, family, and financial stability which makes them more risk-averse and less likely to engage in criminal behavior as they have more to lose if caught. A decrease in testosterone levels and an increased tolerance for frustrating events may also contribute to decreasing criminal activity, but they are not as significant as having more commitments and more to lose if caught. Having a decreased ability to avoid detection by police may become a factor only in very old age or if an individual has health issues that make them less mobile or less able to navigate their surroundings.
