Note: Reference Group Desistance: Do you do less; a) partying, b) stealing from work c) other acts, (such as driving after having too much to drink) than friends your age?
Subjective Desistance: Do you do less; a) partying, b) stealing from work c) other acts, (such as driving after having too much to drink) than you did five years ago?
