Objectives: Criminologists have long been interested in the relationship between subcultural attitudes and antisocial behavior, with Anderson’s street code thesis being the most recent and often researched foray in this area. Relatedly, scholars have begun to investigate the risk factors associated with the anticipation of early death. Extant research, however, has yet to empirically test Anderson’s hypothesis that subscription to the street code is predictive of an anticipated early death. This study contributes to the literatures on the street code as well as fatalism by investigating the link between these two constructs. Methods: Using data from a sample of serious youthful offenders, we examine whether street code values are related to the anticipation of a short life span using a number of multivariate regression techniques controlling for a range of individual- and community-level variables. Results: Results show adherence to the street code is significantly associated with an anticipated early death among the sample of delinquent youth. Further, the relationship between street code and anticipated early death holds across race/ethnicity and gender, and results are not sensitive to the measurement of an anticipated early death. Findings from the current research are discussed, along with implications for policy and future research.

遵守《街道法典》可预知更早死亡

目标：犯罪学家一直对亚文化态度与反社会行为之间的关系感兴趣，其中安德森街法则是该领域最新的研究成果。相关地，学者们已经开始研究与预期早期死亡相关的危险因素。但是，现有的研究尚未通过经验检验安德森的假设，即加入街道代码可预示预期的早期死亡。通过研究这两种结构之间的联系，本研究为有关街道法规和宿命论的文献做出了贡献。方法：使用来自严重青年罪犯样本的数据，我们使用许多用于控制一系列个人和社区水平变量的多元回归技术，检查街道代码值是否与预期寿命短有关。结果：结果表明，遵守街道法规与犯罪青少年样本中预期的早期死亡有显着相关。此外，街道代码与预期的早期死亡之间的关系在种族/族裔和性别之间均存在，并且结果对预期的早期死亡的度量并不敏感。讨论了当前研究的发现，以及对政策和未来研究的影响。结果表明，遵守街道法规与犯罪青少年样本中预期的早期死亡显着相关。此外，街道代码与预期的早期死亡之间的关系在种族/族裔和性别之间均存在，并且结果对预期的早期死亡的度量并不敏感。讨论了当前研究的发现，以及对政策和未来研究的影响。结果表明，遵守街道法规与犯罪青少年样本中预期的早期死亡显着相关。此外，街道代码与预期的早期死亡之间的关系在种族/族裔和性别之间均存在，并且结果对预期的早期死亡的度量并不敏感。讨论了当前研究的发现，以及对政策和未来研究的影响。
