本研究利用中国大城市天津的调查数据探讨了家庭越轨与犯罪之间的关系。我们假设，与西方的研究结果类似，家庭越轨行为与中国的犯罪呈正相关。我们还假设，连接这两个变量的因果过程的性质在某些方面将不同于西方国家观察到的模式，反映出中国社会对家庭关系的异常重视。分析结果好坏参半。与预期一致，家庭越轨行为与官方犯罪状况呈正相关，通过家庭控制、道德承诺和越轨联想表现出间接影响，以及可能反映家庭群体压力的直接影响。我们还发现朋友的越轨行为会产生明显的影响，这与我们的假设相反，即家庭变量的影响会显着降低同伴交往的重要性。总的来说，我们的分析表明了家庭在解释中国犯罪行为方面的关键作用，并说明了跨文化研究在评估研究结果的普遍性和确定犯罪学调查的新方向方面的效用。
This research explores the relationship between family deviance and delinquency using survey data from Tianjin, a large city in China. We hypothesize that, similar to findings in the West, family deviance will be positively related to delinquency in China. We also hypothesize that the nature of the causal process linking these two variables will differ in certain respects from the pattern observed in Western nations, reflecting the unusually strong emphasis placed on family relations in Chinese society. The results of the analysis are mixed. Consistent with expectations, family deviance is positively related to official delinquency status, exhibiting indirect effects via family controls, moral commitments, and deviant associations, and direct effects that are likely to reflect family group pressures. We also discovered appreciable effects of friends' deviance, which runs counter to our hypothesis that the influence of family variables will significantly diminish the importance of peer associations. In general, our analysis indicates the key role of the family in explaining delinquent behavior in China, and it illustrates the utility of cross-cultural research for assessing the generality of research findings and identifying new directions for criminological inquiry.
