Pratt and Turanovic (European Journal of Criminology, 13(1):129–146, 2016) argue that previous studies operationalizing risky lifestyles as mere “going out” (problematic indicators of risky lifestyles) were misspecified and that “improved” indicators of risky lifestyle (risky behaviors) would perform better than “problematic” indicators in models that explain victimization. This study examines these propositions by testing the self-control/lifestyle framework of victimization using the data from a random sample of Filipino high school students at a state university in Dumaguete City, Philippines. Results show strong support to Pratt and Turanovic’s claims. Self-control has stronger effects on improved indicators than on problematic ones. And, improved indicators have stronger effects than problematic indicators on property, violent, peer/sibling and sexual victimization. Moreover, the findings provide partial support for the self-control/lifestyle framework of victimization.

菲律宾青少年受害的自我控制/生活方式框架中风险生活方式的“有问题”和“改善”指标的作用

Pratt 和 Turanovic（欧洲犯罪学杂志，13（1）：129-146，2016 年）认为，之前的研究将风险生活方式仅仅作为“走出去”（风险生活方式的问题指标）进行了错误指定，并且“改进”了风险指标在解释受害的模型中，生活方式（危险行为）将比“有问题的”指标表现得更好。本研究使用来自菲律宾杜马盖地市一所州立大学的菲律宾高中生的随机样本数据，通过测试受害的自我控制/生活方式框架来检验这些命题。结果显示强烈支持普拉特和图拉诺维奇的主张。自我控制对改善指标的影响比对问题指标的影响更大。而且，改进的指标比有问题的指标对财产、暴力、同伴/兄弟姐妹和性受害。此外，研究结果为受害的自我控制/生活方式框架提供了部分支持。
