大量研究证明了犯罪与暴力受害之间的关系。也就是说，有犯罪行为的人也更有可能成为受害者。因此，传统上用来解释犯罪行为的犯罪学理论现在被用来解释受害行为。目前的研究通过一个具有全国代表性的男性样本来检验阿格纽的一般压力理论是否可以解释犯罪者-受害者重叠。结果表明，替代菌株对受害和加害均具有正向和显著的预测作用。预期压力仅对受害有显著正向影响，对犯罪无显著正向影响。讨论了本研究的局限性和未来的研究方向。
Numerous studies have documented a relationship between criminal offending and violent victimization. That is, people who commit criminal behavior are also more likely to be victimized. As such, criminological theories traditionally used to explain criminal behavior have now been applied to explain victimization. The current study examines whether Agnew's general strain theory can explain the offender-victim overlap using a nationally representative sample of males. Results show that vicarious strain is positive and significant in predicting both victimization and perpetration. Anticipated strain was found only to be significant and positive in predicting victimization, but not perpetration. The study's limitations and future research are discussed.
