尽管传统的观点认为，有组织的运动通过塑造性格、安排青少年的时间和为社会认可的行为提供激励来阻止犯罪，但迄今为止的经验证据喜忧参半。基于约600名纽约西部青少年的样本，本研究考察了自我报告的运动员身份、学校运动员身份和体育活动频率如何对一系列违法行为产生不同影响。运动员的身份和运动活动的频率都不能预测这些行为；然而，运动员身份与明显更多的犯罪事件有关。这一发现在性别和种族中都很明显。后续分析表明，运动员的身份认同促进了轻微和严重的犯罪，对白人青少年有重大的犯罪影响，但对黑人青少年没有影响。
Athough conventional wisdom suggests that organized sport deters delinquency by building character, structuring adolescents’ time, and providing incentives for socially approved behavior, the empirical evidence to date has been mixed. Based on a sample of approximately 600 Western New York adolescents, the present study examined how self-reported jock identity, school athlete status, and frequency of athletic activity differentially influenced a range of delinquent behaviors. Neither athlete status nor frequency of athletic activity predicted these behaviors; however, jock identity was associated with significantly more incidents of delinquency. This finding was robust across both gender and race. Follow-up analyses indicated that jock identity facilitated both minor and major delinquency, with major delinquency effects for white but not black adolescents.
