Abstract

Juvenile delinquency is often linked with various proximal family and environmental factors during a child’s upbringing. Richard Jessor’s problem behavior theory (PBT) emphasizes that a combined interplay of these factors may explain this phenomenon appropriately. This study employed the PBT framework to investigate the impact of family on students’ delinquency, considering the influence of neighborhood and delinquent peer association. A model was developed for analyzing the variables by structural equation modeling (SEM). Data were collected through interviews with 1026 students aged between 12 and 18 years from a child development center and eight educational institutes in Bangladesh. The findings revealed that family-level factors (adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and family deprivation) can significantly predict students’ delinquency directly and through the moderation effect of neighborhood-level variables (neighborhood social capital and neighborhood disorganization). Delinquent peer association exhibited a significant mediating role in the model. It could directly predict delinquency as well. The research has notable theoretical and practical implications for understanding the complex dynamics of family, neighborhood, and delinquent peer association in explaining students’ delinquency.
童年逆境对学生犯罪行为的影响:与邻里环境和犯罪同伴交往的相互作用
青少年犯罪往往与孩子成长过程中的各种近缘家庭和环境因素有关。Richard Jessor的问题行为理论(PBT)强调这些因素的综合相互作用可以适当地解释这一现象。本研究采用PBT框架考察家庭对学生犯罪的影响,同时考虑邻里关系和犯罪同伴交往的影响。利用结构方程模型(SEM)建立了分析变量的模型。通过对孟加拉国儿童发展中心和8所教育机构的1026名年龄在12至18岁之间的学生的访谈收集数据。研究发现,家庭层面的因素(童年不良经历和家庭剥夺)可以直接并通过社区层面的变量(社区社会资本和社区解体)的调节作用显著地预测学生的犯罪行为。同伴交往在模型中表现出显著的中介作用。它也可以直接预测犯罪。本研究对于理解家庭、邻里和不良同伴关系在解释学生犯罪中的复杂动态具有重要的理论和实践意义。

期刊介绍: The mission of New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development is to provide scientific and scholarly presentations on cutting edge issues and concepts in the field of child and adolescent development. Each issue focuses on a specific new direction or research topic, and is peer reviewed by experts on that topic. Any topic in the domain of child and adolescent development can be the focus of an issue. Topics can include social, cognitive, educational, emotional, biological, neuroscience, health, demographic, economical, and socio-cultural issues that bear on children and youth, as well as issues in research methodology and other domains. Topics that bridge across areas are encouraged, as well as those that are international in focus or deal with under-represented groups. The readership for the journal is primarily students, researchers, scholars, and social servants from fields such as psychology, sociology, education, social work, anthropology, neuroscience, and health. We welcome scholars with diverse methodological and epistemological orientations.
