系统模型认为，非正式控制减少犯罪，社交网络通过刺激非正式控制间接减少犯罪。系统的文献一贯支持非正式的控制犯罪的关系，但揭示了更广泛的网络尺寸的测量和影响的变化。认识到这种模式，一些学者主张网络和非正式控制之间的明确区分。我们正式解决这个问题的测量结构的多个网络和非正式的控制指标，使用收集的数据在300西雅图社区的分析。结果揭示了几个不同的网络维度，本身是不同的非正式控制。回归分析支持系统模型：非正式控制减少犯罪受害，网络表现出间接的，通过非正式控制的负面影响。与先前的研究一致，一些网络措施对犯罪有积极的直接影响。我们的结论是网络和非正式控制之间的区别是必不可少的测试和评估系统模型。
The systemic model posits that informal control reduces crime and that social networks reduce crime indirectly by stimulating informal control. The systemic literature consistently supports the informal control-crime relationship but reveals wider variation in the measurement and effects of network dimensions. Recognizing this pattern, some scholars advocate an explicit distinction between networks and informal control. We formally address that issue with analysis of the measurement structure of multiple network and informal control indicators using data collected in 300 Seattle neighborhoods. Results reveal several distinct network dimensions that are themselves distinct from informal control. Regression analysis supports the systemic model: informal control reduces crime victimization, and networks exhibit an indirect, negative effect through informal control. Consistent with prior research, some network measures have a positive, direct effect on crime. We conclude that a distinction between networks and informal control is essential when testing and evaluating the systemic model.
