摘要

美国公民相信他们比其他任何国家都更能掌控自己的命运。美国在暴力犯罪方面也是世界领先的。本文论证了这两种趋势之间的相关性。一个理论是基于与命运控制有关的三个不同的轨迹提出的。一种轨迹涉及到人们通过生命历程的转折点来改变他们的命运控制信念。在另一条轨迹上，对命运控制信念不强的人更容易焦虑/抑郁。第三条轨道是高犯罪率犯罪者。由于诸如依恋创伤、权利感、内部/外部障碍和药物滥用等事情，他们通常不会改变他们的青春期观点，即他们完全控制自己的命运。对一些人来说，这转化为暴力犯罪。提出了对社会和研究的影响。[文章副本可从转型研究所收费。电子邮件地址:journal@transformativestudies.org网站:http://www.transformativestudies.org©2023 by The Transformative Studies Institute。版权所有。]

Violent Crime and Destiny Control: Theorizing a Missing Variable in Criminology

U.S. citizens believe they can control their destinies at rates higher than any other nation. The U.S. is also a world leader in violent crimes. This article argues for correlations between these two trends. A theory is proposed based on three distinct trajectories related to destiny control. One trajectory involves persons modifying their destiny-control beliefs through turning points in the life course. On another trajectory, persons with low destiny-control beliefs are prone to anxiety/depression. The third track is that of high-rate offenders. Due to such things as attachment traumas, feelings of entitlement, internal/external barriers, and substance abuse they do not often modify their adolescent views that they are in complete control of their destinies. For some this translates into violent crimes. Implications for society and research are raised. [Article copies available for a fee from The Transformative Studies Institute.
