Marriage is understood to promote informal social control (and thus desistance), through four primary pathways (Sampson et al. 2006). First, marriage increases the potential cost of crime because criminal activity may threaten the bond of attachment and lead to its dissolution (Hirschi 1969, Sampson and Laub 1993).
As a result, one of the positive consequences of happiness in society can be the reduction of crime [6]. Other researcher using empirical evidence explores that making people happy is the best crime prevention and, thus, the best response to crime at least, for those who can still change and become happier [7] .
The marriage effect is one of the most widely studied topics of life course criminology. The contemporary consensus is that marriage promotes desistance from crime. Most of the 58 studies reviewed here find a negative longitudinal association between marriage and crime. The results are more consistent among men.
