在过去的二十年里，犯罪因果理论的数量和种类都出现了前所未有的增长。自1985年以来，至少出现了25种新的犯罪因果理论。如果这些理论要阐明而不是模糊我们对犯罪原因的理解，就需要进行实证检验。本文通过报道对一个著名的新犯罪理论的测试来解决这个问题：布雷斯韦特的重新整合羞耻理论。青少年被作为分析的单位，重点是他们的父母使用重返社会和羞辱和青少年报告预测掠夺性犯罪之间的关系。本文解决了三个主要问题：(1)哪些变量可以预测父母对重返社会和羞辱的使用？(2)从统计上看，重新融入社会和羞耻感是相互作用影响犯罪的，还是它们的影响是叠加的？(3)任何观察到的重新融入社会和羞辱对犯罪的影响仅仅是虚假的结果吗？研究结果部分支持了这一理论，包括羞辱对掠夺性犯罪的持久负面影响。
The past two decades have seen unprecedented growth in both the number and variety of theories of crime causation. Since 1985, at least 25 new theories of crime causation have emerged. If these theories are to illuminate rather than obscure our understanding of the causes of crime, empirical tests are needed. This article addresses that need by reporting a test of one prominent new theory of crime: Braithwaite's reintegrative shaming theory. Adolescents are taken as the units of analysis, and the focus is on the relationship between their parents' use of reintegration and shaming and adolescent reports of projected predatory delinquency. Three principal questions are addressed: (1) What variables predict parents' use of reintegration and shaming? (2) Do reintegration and shaming statistically interact to affect delinquency, or are their effects additive? (3) Are any observed effects of reintegration and shaming on delinquency merely a result of spuriousness? Findings reveal partial support for the theory, including a durable negative effect of shaming on predatory delinquency.
