虽然许多研究发现犯罪和受害风险之间存在密切关系，但这种关系的病因尚未得到很好的理解。这项研究缺乏的是对邻域过程的明确关注。然而，在暴力文学亚文化中发现的理论工作暗示，邻里街头文化可能有助于解释这一现象的病因。具体来说，我们应该期待的程度重叠的罪犯与邻里为基础的暴力行为规范密切相关。本研究使用家庭和社区健康研究（FACHS）的第1和第2波来测试这些概念的实证有效性。我们的研究结果表明，在整个社区的背景下，mumoffender重叠是不普遍的;事实上，它是特别强的街道文化占主导地位的社区，而它是显着较弱的地区，这种文化是不太突出。这些结果表明，邻里水平的文化过程有助于解释的muscumoffender重叠，他们可能会导致这种现象是特定的上下文。
Although numerous studies have found a strong relationship between offending and victimization risk, the etiology of this relationship is not well understood. Largely absent from this research is an explicit focus on neighborhood processes. However, theoretical work found in the subculture of violence literature implies that neighborhood street culture may help to account for the etiology of this phenomenon. Specifically, we should expect the magnitude of the victimoffender overlap to vary closely with neighborhood-based violent conduct norms. This research uses waves 1 and 2 of the Family and Community Health Study (FACHS) to test the empirical validity of these notions. Our results show that the victimoffender overlap is not generalizeable across neighborhood contexts; in fact, it is especially strong in neighborhoods where the street culture predominates, whereas it is significantly weaker in areas where this culture is less prominent. These results indicate that neighborhood-level cultural processes help to explain the victimoffender overlap, and they may cause this phenomenon to be context specific.
