ABSTRACT

Most scholars have focused on the simple presence of schools when examining their influence on neighborhood crime. This paper instead examines two school characteristics that might affect local juvenile crime. More specifically, this study uses negative binomial and logistic regression models to estimate the effects of high school dropouts and high-performing schools on juvenile violent crime in Orange County, CA. An integrated theoretical approach based on social bond and routine activity theories is utilized to guide this research. Findings from this study suggest that dropouts are associated with increases in aggravated assault and robbery incidents, but high-performing schools do not significantly affect these crime types. Finally, the models predicting juvenile crime are compared with models predicting all crime (both juveniles and adults), supporting our argument that juvenile crime is the theoretically appropriate crime measure.

学校和社区犯罪:辍学和表现优异的学校对青少年犯罪的影响

摘要

大多数学者在研究学校对社区犯罪的影响时,都将重点放在学校的存在上。相反,本文研究了可能影响当地青少年犯罪的两个学校特征。更具体地说,本研究使用负二项式和逻辑回归模型来估计高中辍学和表现优异的学校对加利福尼亚州奥兰治县青少年暴力犯罪的影响。采用基于社会纽带和日常活动理论的综合理论方法来指导这项研究。这项研究的结果表明,辍学与严重袭击和抢劫事件的增加有关,但表现优异的学校并不会显着影响这些犯罪类型。最后,将预测青少年犯罪的模型与预测所有犯罪(青少年和成人)的模型进行比较,
