尽管许多少年犯报告经历了警察的不公正，但很少有研究研究这种压力来源可能会如何影响青少年的行为结果，包括未来再次犯罪的风险。这项研究开始解决文献中的这一差距。本研究以一般紧张理论为理论框架，考察警察不公平知觉与道德脱节对青少年攻击行为的交互作用。我们的样本包括95名少年犯，他们完成了关于感知警察不公正和道德脱离的问卷调查。结果支持了我们的假设，即道德脱离预测了过去一个月青少年罪犯中的攻击性，但只有报告了中庸和高度警察不公的年轻人才会预测。虽然在这一领域还需要更多的研究，但这项研究的结果强调了在有犯罪行为风险的青少年中同时解决感知到的警察参与和道德脱离的必要性。对干预计划的影响也被提出。
Although many juvenile offenders report experiencing police injustice, few studies have examined how this source of strain may impact youths’ behavioral outcomes, including risk for future recidivism. This study begins to address that gap in the literature. We applied the general strain theory as our theoretical framework to examine the interactive effect of perceived police injustice and moral disengagement on juvenile aggressive behavior. Our sample included 95 juvenile offenders who completed questionnaires on measures of perceived police injustice and moral disengagement. Results supported our hypothesis, such that moral disengagement predicted past month aggression among juvenile offenders, but only by youth who reported mean and high levels of perceived police injustice. While more research is needed in this area, this study’s findings underscore the need to address both perceived police engagement and moral disengagement among youth at-risk of engaging in delinquent behaviors. Implications for intervention programs are also presented.
