摘要

虽然许多研究调查了父母监禁对儿童犯罪的影响，但结果好坏参半。目前，尚不清楚父母监禁对孩子未来的犯罪行为是否有积极、消极或零影响。目前的研究旨在通过检查依恋在父母监禁和儿童犯罪之间的关系中的作用来澄清这些混合的发现。具体来说，我们研究这种关系是否取决于父母和孩子在监禁前的依恋关系。方法使用来自国家青少年到成人健康纵向研究的数据，这项准实验研究采用倾向评分匹配来比较父亲被监禁的儿童与父母从未被监禁的对照组（n = 318）。结果父亲监禁对儿童财产犯罪、毒品犯罪和暴力行为的影响在监禁前依恋水平上存在显著差异。然而，依恋在每一组中的具体影响（父亲监禁与没有父母监禁）无法确定。结论我们的研究结果补充了长期存在的理论，并强调了在评估父母监禁对犯罪行为的影响时考虑监禁前亲子关系的重要性。这些见解表明，需要针对特定的家庭动态进行量身定制的干预，以更好地支持父母被监禁的孩子。

Delinquency among children of incarcerated parents: The role of pre-incarceration parental attachment

Objectives

While many studies have examined the impact of parental incarceration on children's delinquency, these have yielded mixed results. Currently, it remains unclear whether parental incarceration has positive, negative, or null effects on their children's future delinquency. The current study aims to clarify these mixed findings by examining the role of attachment in the relationship between parental incarceration and children's delinquency. Specifically, we examine whether this relationship is conditioned on attachment between the parent and child pre-incarceration.

Methods

Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, this quasi-experimental study employed propensity score matching to compare children of incarcerated fathers with a matched comparison group whose parents were never incarcerated (n = 318).

Results

The impact of paternal incarceration on children's involvement in property crimes, drug-related offenses, and violent behavior was found to differ significantly according to the level of pre-incarceration attachment. However, the specific effect of attachment within each group (paternal incarceration vs. no parental incarceration) could not be determined.

Conclusions

Our findings complement longstanding theories and underscore the importance of considering pre-incarceration parent–child relationships when evaluating the impact of parental incarceration on delinquent behavior. These insights point to the need for tailored interventions that address specific family dynamics to better support children of incarcerated parents.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Criminal Justice is an international journal intended to fill the present need for the dissemination of new information, ideas and methods, to both practitioners and academicians in the criminal justice area. The Journal is concerned with all aspects of the criminal justice system in terms of their relationships to each other. Although materials are presented relating to crime and the individual elements of the criminal justice system, the emphasis of the Journal is to tie together the functioning of these elements and to illustrate the effects of their interactions. Articles that reflect the application of new disciplines or analytical methodologies to the problems of criminal justice are of special interest. Since the purpose of the Journal is to provide a forum for the dissemination of new ideas, new information, and the application of new methods to the problems and functions of the criminal justice system, the Journal emphasizes innovation and creative thought of the highest quality.
