The first relationship examined here is that between youth inequality and the high concentration of property offending among adolescents. The authors explicate the age-inequality explanation for the traditional age-crime curve to examine interrelationship among crime, age-inequality, and other dimensions of inequality; and variations in the age-crime curve in connection with cultural and historical variations in age-inequality. The second relationship analyzed in this chapter involves links between age and involvement in high-yield property crimes; these patterns seem to parallel the relationship between greater maturity and status attainment in the legitimate economy. A comparison of age curves for athletes and criminals provides a model for understanding similarities in the interaction between age stratification and other dimensions of inequality in both legitimate and illegitimate opportunity structures. 5 figures
