绘制同伴影响和父母/家庭特征对犯罪的关系图，可以帮助扩大对显示同伴和家庭预测因素之间相互依赖的研究结果的理解。本研究利用芝加哥青少年发展研究的数据，探讨了同伴关系的两个特征(暴力和知觉受欢迎度)与随后的个人犯罪之间的纵向关系，以及家庭特征(凝聚力和父母监督)的调节作用。参与者是364名居住在市中心的青少年男孩(54%是非洲裔美国人，40%是西班牙裔)。在控制了年龄和种族的影响后，同伴暴力与男孩的犯罪行为呈正相关。受欢迎程度的影响取决于父母的监督，即当父母监督较低时，受欢迎程度与青少年犯罪呈正相关关系，而当父母监督较高时，受欢迎程度与违法行为之间没有关系。此外，父母监督有助于同伴暴力和犯罪之间的关系，因此，当父母监督较低时，这种关系更强。此外，来自高凝聚力家庭的男孩的同伴暴力与犯罪之间存在更强的关系。研究结果指出，在解释和干预犯罪风险方面，关注同伴和家庭关系的多个方面具有价值。此外，调查结果表明，以家庭为重点的干预在预防犯罪方面的重要性。
Mapping the relationship of peer influences and parental/family characteristics on delinquency can help expand the understanding of findings that show an interdependence between peer and family predictors. This study explored the longitudinal relationship between two characteristics of peer relationships (violence and perceived popularity) with subsequent individual delinquency and the moderating role of family characteristics (cohesion and parental monitoring) using data from the Chicago Youth Development Study. Participants were 364 inner-city residing adolescent boys (54 % African American; 40 % Hispanic). After controlling for the effects of age and ethnicity, peer violence is positively related to boys' delinquency. The effect of popularity depends on parental monitoring, such that the relationship between popularity and delinquency is positive when parental monitoring is low, but there is no relationship when parental monitoring is high. Furthermore, parental monitoring contributes to the relationship between peer violence and delinquency such that there is a stronger relationship when parental monitoring is low. Additionally, there is a stronger relationship between peer violence and delinquency for boys from high cohesive families. Findings point to the value of attention to multiple aspects of peer and family relationships in explaining and intervening in the risk for delinquency. Furthermore, findings indicate the importance of family-focused interventions in preventing delinquency.
