本文分析了未成年犯在同一管教所服刑的时间对彼此以后犯罪行为的影响。该分析基于佛罗里达169所少年教养所两年期间8,000多名服刑人员的数据。这些数据提供了一个完整的记录，过去的犯罪，设施分配，逮捕和判决后的一年释放每个人。为了控制非随机分配到设施，我们包括设施和设施的先验进攻固定效应，从而估计同行的影响，只使用设施内的变化随着时间的推移。我们发现了强有力的证据，同伴效应的入室盗窃，小偷小摸，重罪和轻罪毒品犯罪，加重攻击，重罪性犯罪。同伴的影响主要影响那些已经在某一特定犯罪类别中有过一些经验的人。我们还发现的证据表明，主要类型的同伴效应不同，在住宅与非住宅设施，在后者的影响是一致的青年服务时间离家近的网络形成。
This paper analyzes the influence that juvenile offenders serving time in the same correctional facility have on each other's subsequent criminal behavior. The analysis is based on data on over 8,000 individuals serving time in 169 juvenile correctional facilities during a two-year period in Florida. These data provide a complete record of past crimes, facility assignments, and arrests and adjudications in the year following release for each individual. To control for the nonrandom assignment to facilities, we include facility and facility-by-prior-offense fixed effects, thereby estimating peer effects using only within-facility variation over time. We find strong evidence of peer effects for burglary, petty larceny, felony and misdemeanor drug offenses, aggravated assault, and felony sex offenses. The influence of peers primarily affects individuals who already have some experience in a particular crime category. We also find evidence that the predominant types of peer effects differ in residential versus nonresidential facilities; effects in the latter are consistent with network formation among youth serving time close to home.
