General Strain Theory (GST) identifies victimization as one of the strains most strongly related to crime which, like other sources of strain, is moderated by individual and social factors. Recently, Agnew extended the theorization of coping strategies by proposing that the effects of strain on deviance are conditioned by individual and social factors in combination, rather than singly, which he labeled crime propensity. Tests of the propensity hypothesis have so far yielded mixed results, highlighting the value of additional studies. Whereas previous tests have focused on single countries, either in North America or Asia, we test the propensity hypothesis using data on adolescents in 25 countries collected through the International Self-Report Delinquency Study (ISRD3; n = 57,760). A series of ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions show that the relationship between victimization and delinquency/substance use is conditioned by the effects of individuals’ crime propensity, thereby supporting the recent extension to GST.

受害、犯罪倾向和偏差：一般应变理论的多国测试

一般压力理论 (GST) 将受害确定为与犯罪最密切相关的压力之一，与其他压力来源一样，受个人和社会因素影响。最近，阿格纽扩展了应对策略的理论，提出压力对越轨的影响取决于个人和社会因素的组合，而不是单一的，他将其称为犯罪倾向。迄今为止，倾向假设的测试产生了混合结果，突出了额外研究的价值。之前的测试侧重于北美或亚洲的单个国家，我们使用通过国际自我报告犯罪研究（ISRD3；n = 57,760）收集的 25 个国家的青少年数据来检验倾向假设。
