我们研究了在青春期不同的背景下，生物和行为的变化联系在一起的过程，通过研究一个队列的新西兰女孩从童年到青春期，当他们进入混合性别或全女孩的中学。月经初潮时间对女性犯罪的影响受到学校性别组成的调节;男女混合环境中的早熟女孩犯罪风险最大。在男女混合学校的女孩中，犯罪的个体差异也比在全女子学校的女孩中更稳定。这些上下文的变化被解释在增援和犯罪机会的差异分布方面。
We examined processes linking biological and behavioral changes in different contexts during adolescence by studying an unselected cohort of New Zealand girls from childhood through adolescence when they entered either mixed-sex or all-girl secondary schools. The impact of menarcheal timing on female delinquency was moderated by the sex composition of schools; early-maturing girls in mixed-sex settings were at greatest risk for delinquency. Individual differences in delinquency were also significantly more stable among girls in mixed-sex schools than among those in all-girl schools. These contextual variations are interpreted in terms of the differential distribution of reinforcements and opportunities for delinquency.
