Abstract The dual systems model of self-control has been found to be relevant for explaining offending. However, there has yet to be any study of these constructs (risk-seeking and impulse control) as they relate to adjudicated youth. This study utilized data from the Pathways to Desistance study, a dataset comprising responses of 1354 juvenile offenders across 84 months. Age-curves for risk-seeking and impulse control were plotted to investigate developmental patterns of these constructs. Generalized estimation equations using negative binomial regression models were used to assess the relevance of these constructs for explaining offending and mediating the age-crime relationship. Results indicated that the development of these constructs differed from development observed among general population samples in past research. Both constructs exerted independent direct effects on offending. Both risk-seeking and impulse control significantly mediated the age-offending relationship. Implications are discussed.

自我控制双系统模型与年龄相关减速在少年犯犯罪多样性中的相关性

摘要 自我控制的双系统模型已被发现与解释犯罪有关。然而，还没有对这些结构（寻求风险和冲动控制）进行任何研究，因为它们与裁决青年有关。本研究利用了 Pathways to Desistance 研究的数据，该数据集包含 84 个月内 1354 名少年犯的反应。绘制风险寻求和冲动控制的年龄曲线以研究这些结构的发展模式。使用负二项式回归模型的广义估计方程被用来评估这些结构在解释犯罪和调解年龄-犯罪关系方面的相关性。结果表明，这些构建体的发展与过去研究中在一般人群样本中观察到的发展不同。两种结构都对犯罪产生了独立的直接影响。风险寻求和冲动控制都显着调节了年龄犯罪关系。影响进行了讨论。
