摘要

在一项准实验中,我们对26个公立学区的14000多名学生进行了抽样调查(PROSPER研究),研究了从8年级到9年级过渡期间换校是否会影响青少年犯罪。该数据集跟踪了从6年级到12年级的八组学生,有助于对这段时间内换校的学生和留在同一所学校的学生进行独特、直接的比较。结果表明,在不同学校之间转学的学生在转学后报告的违法行为明显少于不转学的,这种差异一直持续到10年级。这种下降在多所中学的青少年转到一所高中时最为明显(即多针过渡)。随着学校环境的变化,在学校之间过渡的学生犯罪朋友减少,参与的无组织社交活动减少,这在一定程度上调节了他们犯罪的减少。研究结果为微分联想理论和日常活动理论提供了一定的支持。我们的研究结果强调了一个关键但研究不足的生活转变在塑造青少年犯罪中的作用。这项准实验的结果强调了社会环境的改变有可能在整个高中期间显著抑制青少年犯罪。

Changing contexts: A quasi-experiment examining adolescent delinquency and the transition to high school

Changing contexts: A quasi-experiment examining adolescent delinquency and the transition to high school

In a quasi-experiment, we examine whether changing schools during the transition from 8th to 9th grade influences adolescent delinquency, using a sample of more than 14,000 students in 26 public school districts (PROSPER study). The dataset follows students for eight waves from 6th through 12th grade and facilitates a unique, direct comparison of students who change schools with those who remain in the same school during this period. Results show that students who transition between schools report significantly less delinquency after the shift than those who do not, and that this difference persists through 10th grade. This decline is most pronounced when adolescents from multiple middle schools move to a single high school (i.e., multifeeder transitions). Students who transition between schools have fewer delinquent friends and participate in less unstructured socializing following the change in school environment, which partially mediates their reduced delinquency. Results provide some support for theories of differential association and routine activities. Our findings highlight the role of a crucial, yet understudied, life transition in shaping adolescent delinquency. The results from this quasi-experiment underscore the potential of alterations in social context to significantly dampen juvenile delinquency throughout high school.
