本文介绍了约翰斯通(1978)关于社会阶层和地区的社会特征对犯罪的影响的工作的复制和扩展。约翰斯通使用了来自美国几个城市的初中生和初中生的样本，他进行的分析是重复的，他使用的是芝加哥的年轻人样本。在此进行的分析旨在检验社会背景影响社会阶层对参与犯罪的影响的方式是否符合相对剥夺解释。虽然这项研究的结果为Johnstone的发现提供了重复的支持，但结果模式也发现，与相对剥夺解释相比，结果模式对冒犯的机会解释提供了更多的支持。(C)1997年爱思唯尔科学有限公司。
This article presents a replication and extension of Johnstone's (1978) work on the effects of social class and the social characteristics of areas on delinquency. Using a sample of middle and junior high school students from several cities around the United States, the analysis conducted by Johnstone, who used a sample of youths from Chicago, is replicated. The analysis conducted here is designed to test whether the manner in which social context affects the impact of social class on involvement in delinquency is consistent with a relative deprivation explanation. While the results of this study provide replicative support for Johnstone's findings, it also was found that the pattern of results provides more support for opportunity explanations of offending than relative deprivation explanations.
