Abstract

Research on youth delinquency has been essential for gaining a deeper understanding of the etiology of delinquent behavior. Studies considering the environmental perspective have increased during the last decade, but relatively little attention has been paid to temporal patterns and weather conditions. The present study explores the seasonality of youth delinquency as well as the association between violent and non-violent youth offenses and temperature, rainfall, level of darkness, type of day, type of place, and companionship, using data gathered by the police along with data obtained from official weather agencies. To this end, we conducted ANOVA and contingency table analyses. Seasonality was found for non-violent crimes. Companionship, semi-public, and public places were all associated with a higher likelihood of non-violent crime, while darkness and public holidays raise the odds of violent crime to happen. No direct association was found between temperature and type of crime.
与青少年犯罪事件相关的环境条件:时间、气象和语境视角
对青少年犯罪的研究对于更深入地了解犯罪行为的病因至关重要。在过去十年中,考虑环境观点的研究有所增加,但对时间模式和天气条件的关注相对较少。本研究利用警方收集的数据和官方气象机构提供的数据,探讨了青少年犯罪的季节性,以及暴力和非暴力青少年犯罪与温度、降雨量、黑暗程度、天气类型、地点类型和陪伴之间的关系。为此,我们进行了方差分析和列联表分析。非暴力犯罪也存在季节性。陪伴、半公共场所和公共场所都与非暴力犯罪的可能性更高有关,而黑暗和公共假日则增加了暴力犯罪发生的可能性。温度和犯罪类型之间没有直接联系。
