在本文中，我们通过提供一个理论框架来扩展有关青少年犯罪的文献，该框架一方面整合了劳动力市场和分层研究的见解，另一方面整合了微观家庭和犯罪学研究的见解。分析借鉴了当地劳动力市场数据和全国代表性的青少年纵向调查数据，并采用了考虑层次结构内聚类的技术。调查结果表明，低工资服务业集中和失业对青少年打架和吸毒的可能性有很大影响。与我们对潜在中介过程的强调一致，我们发现这些影响部分是通过家庭、收入、家庭完整性以及青少年对父母和学校的依恋的模式产生的。一个有趣的发现是，即使潜在的调解者受到控制，低工资服务业规模和失业对青少年犯罪的影响仍然存在。最后，我们讨论这些持续影响及其影响。
In this article, we extend the literature on adolescent delinquency by offering a theoretical framework that integrates insights from labor-market and stratification research on the one hand and microlevel family and criminological research on the other. Analyses draw from local labor-market data and nationally representative longitudinal survey data on adolescents and employ techniques that take into account clustering within hierarchical structures. Findings suggest strong effects of low-wage service-sector concentration and unemployment on the likelihood of both fighting and drug use among adolescents. Consistent with our emphasis on potential mediating processes, we find that these effects are partially produced through the patterning of family, income, family intactness, and adolescent attachment to parents and school. An interesting finding is that low-wage service-sector size and unemployment effects on adolescent delinquency persist even with potential mediators controlled. We conclude by discussing these persistent effects and their implications.
