从行为遗传学研究中收集到的发现表明，非共享环境是行为变异的特别重要的来源。令人惊讶的是，很少有犯罪学研究直接调查非共享环境对青少年犯罪和成人犯罪行为的影响。目前的研究通过计算289对同卵双胞胎样本的差异分数来解决文献中的这一空白，以检验非共享家庭环境对犯罪参与、成人犯罪行为、自我控制水平和与反社会同伴接触的影响。对来自国家青少年健康纵向研究（Add Health）的MZ双胞胎的分析表明，非共享家庭环境-母亲脱离参与-与犯罪参与和自我控制的发展有关。然而，其余的非共享家庭环境与反社会结果无关。讨论了研究结果的含义。
Findings gleaned from behavioral genetic research have revealed that nonshared environments are particularly important sources of behavioral variation. Surprisingly little criminological research has examined directly the effects of the nonshared environment on adolescent delinquent involvement and adult criminal behavior. The current study addressed this gap in the literature by calculating difference scores in a sample of 289 monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs to examine the effects of the nonshared familial environment on delinquent involvement, adult criminal behavior, levels of self-control, and contact with antisocial peers. Analysis of MZ twin pairs from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) revealed that one nonshared family environment-maternal disengagement-was associated with delinquent involvement and the development of self-control. The remaining nonshared familial, environments, however, were not associated with antisocial outcomes. Implications of the findings are discussed.
