摘要

现有的研究为犯罪理性选择模型的微观预测提供了支持。然而，在更广泛的社会科学中，理性选择视角的一个核心特征——它是多层次的关注，将个人置于更广泛的社区社会结构中——在犯罪学中被忽视了。在本文中，我们讨论并测试了一个模型，该模型将社区结构特征与几个与犯罪相关的个人期望和偏好联系起来。使用来自“停止途径”研究的数据，我们发现邻里集中劣势的客观水平通过影响邻里中合法成功途径的感知障碍和感知机会，间接影响个人对与犯罪相关的风险、成本和回报的感知和偏好。讨论了犯罪行为多层次理性选择模型的含义。

Structural predictors of choice: Testing a multilevel rational choice theory of crime

Extant research has provided support for the micro-level predictions of rational choice models of crime. Yet, a central feature of the rational choice perspective in the broader social sciences—that it is multilevel in focus, situating individuals within broader community social structures—has been neglected within criminology. In this article, we discuss and test a model that links community structural characteristics to several individual expectations and preferences relevant to crime. Using data from the Pathways to Desistance study, we find that objective levels of neighborhood concentrated disadvantage influence individuals’ perceptions of, and preferences for, the risks, costs, and rewards associated with offending indirectly by affecting perceived disorder and perceived opportunities for legitimate avenues of success within one's neighborhood. The implications of a multilevel rational choice model of offending are discussed.
