根据相关理论和研究,本文认为同伴对犯罪的影响取决于(1)对同伴的依恋,(2)与同伴相处的时间,以及(3)同伴呈现犯罪模式的程度(即呈现有利于犯罪的定义,模范犯罪行为,以及不同程度地控制犯罪)。国家青年调查数据的回归分析部分支持了这些论点。当上述变量处于平均值或更低水平时,与严重犯罪的同伴的关联测量对犯罪没有影响或有负面影响。当上述变量处于较高水平时,不良同伴(严重)对不良行为有较强的正向影响。然而,与从事轻微犯罪的同龄人的联系的测量不受上述变量的限制。
Drawing on relevant theory and research, it is argued that the impact of delinquent peers on delinquency is conditioned by (1) attachment to peers, (2) time spent with peers, and (3) the extent to which peers present delinquent patterns (i.e., present definitions favorable to delinquency, model delinquent behavior, and differentially rein force delinquency). Regression analyses with data from the National Youth Survey provide partial support for these arguments. When the above variables are at their mean or lower levels, a measure of association with peers who engage in serious delinquency has no impact or a negative impact on delinquency. When the above variables are at higher levels, delinquent peers (serious) has a strong, positive impact on delinquency. A measure of association with peers who engage in minor delinquency, however, is not conditioned by the above variables.
