Partnerships are an integral part of the working life of police, yet not a lot is known about how such partnerships work to deter and control crime problems. This article explores the impact of a Third Party Policing Partnership involving police and schools coming together to engage with parents to address their child's truancy and antisocial behavior. We report on results from an embedded behavioral economics experiment within the Ability School Engagement Program (ASEP) Trial. ASEP involved 102 young people who were chronically truant from school and randomly allocated to the experimental partnership program (ASEP) or the business‐as‐usual condition. We find that riskier choices made by parents increase the incidence of child self‐reported antisocial behavior (SRASB). Our results show parents in the ASEP condition had greater gains in knowledge of the education laws relative to control. There was a backfire effect for parents in the control group: Their gains in knowledge of the laws led their children to have higher levels of SRASB.

监管伙伴关系以应对青少年的反社会行为：父母冒险如何影响孩子的结局

伙伴关系是警察工作生活中不可或缺的一部分，但是对于这种伙伴关系如何发挥作用来遏制和控制犯罪问题知之甚少。本文探讨了第三方警务合作关系的影响，该合作关系涉及警察和学校一起与父母接触，以解决孩子的逃学和反社会行为。我们报告了在“能力学校参与计划（ASEP）”试验中进行的嵌入式行为经济学实验的结果。ASEP涉及102名长期逃学的年轻人，他们被随机分配到实验性伙伴计划（ASEP）或一切照旧情况。我们发现，父母做出的风险更大的选择会增加儿童自我报告的反社会行为（SRASB）的发生率。我们的结果表明，处于ASEP状态的父母相对于控制者在教育法律方面的知识有了更大的收获。对照组中的父母产生了适得其反的效果：他们对法律知识的掌握使他们的孩子拥有更高的SRASB水平。
