Delinquent behavior has been under the focus of intense studies in the course of the past few decades and entails the urgency of diverse approaches and theories attempted to understand the factors influencing the commission of crimes as well as both the preservation and dropping of criminal careers. The objective of this review article is to analyze the likely influence of parenthood and/or parenting on the renunciation of tort. For this purpose, a descriptive bibliographic review was carried out envisaging the utilization of the Web of Science and Scopus databases with a searching strategy by means of Key words relating to the study matter. The findings have evidenced a dissimilar value of parenthood in the desistance of crime, according to certain variables such as gender, vital cycle and type of parent-child bond. The results obtained within the framework of the importance of intervention displays promoting the desistance of crime through the invigoration of pro-social bonds, urging to watch in greater depth the contribution that parenthood might make in this process.
