在过去的半个世纪里，社会学和其他社会科学领域的大量理论和实证工作都强调了人口流动对人类发展，特别是对青年的负面影响。在犯罪学方面，几十年的研究已经证明了居住流动性与宏观和微观层面的犯罪之间的联系。在微观层面上，流动性与青少年的犯罪、物质使用和其他越轨行为有关。然而，流动性与犯罪之间的关系可能是由于选择了移动的和非移动的青年在犯罪倾向方面的既有差异，而以前的研究没有充分解决这个问题。具体而言，最有可能迁移的家庭也是处境最不利的家庭，其特点可能是其动态和过程有利于其子女的青少年犯罪和问题行为的发展。本研究使用1997年全国青年纵向调查的数据，以评估12至17岁之间的住宅和学校流动性对犯罪和物质使用的影响。随机效应模型控制观察到的和未观察到的差异的选择。结果表明，流动性和青少年犯罪确实是虚假的相关。未来的研究流动性和结果的影响进行了讨论。(c)2009爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Over the past half century, a large body of theoretical and empirical work in sociology and other social sciences has emphasized the negative consequences of mobility for human development in general, and youth outcomes in particular. In criminology, decades of research have documented a link between residential mobility and crime at both the macro and micro levels. At the micro level, mobility is associated with delinquency, substance use, and other deviant behaviors among adolescents. However, it is possible that the relationship between mobility and delinquency may be due to selection on pre-existing differences between mobile and non-mobile youth in their propensity for delinquency, and prior studies have not adequately addressed this issue. Specifically, the families that are most likely to move are also the most disadvantaged and may be characterized by dynamics and processes that are conducive to the development of delinquency and problem behavior in their children. This study uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 to assess the impact of residential and school mobility between the ages of 12 and 17 on delinquency and substance use. Random effects models control for selection on both observed and unobserved differences. Results show that mobility and delinquency are indeed spuriously related. Implications for future research on mobility and outcomes are discussed. (c) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
