In this study, we estimated a model of youth violent victimization and delinquent offending in Turkey using the subculture of violence thesis. Specifically, we employed adherence to street code and risky lifestyle measures to understand the relationship between these factors and the odds of youth violent victimization and the incidence rate ratio of delinquent offending, controlling for social ties such as family and peer-related measures and demographics, in a sample of 2627 students from 18 schools in Bagcilar county of Istanbul, Turkey. Moreover, we also explored the mediation and moderation effects among adherence to street culture and lifestyle measures. We found that risky lifestyle corresponds with higher odds of victimization and a higher incidence rate ratio of offending. Moreover, we found that adherence to street code has direct and indirect effects on offending, but it has only an indirect effect on victimization. In other words, lifestyle measures fully mediated the effect of street culture on victimization. Finally, we also found moderation effects of adherence to street culture on the relationship between lifestyle, victimization, and delinquent offending. Implications of our findings are discussed.

在这项研究中，我们使用暴力命题的亚文化评估了土耳其青年遭受暴力和犯罪的模型。具体来说，我们采用了遵守街道法规和危险的生活方式的措施，以了解这些因素与青少年遭受暴力侵害的几率和违法犯罪的发生率之间的关系，并控制家庭和同伴相关措施以及人口统计等社会关系，来自土耳其伊斯坦布尔Bagcilar县18所学校的2627名学生的样本。此外，我们还探讨了遵守街头文化和生活方式措施之间的调解和调节作用。我们发现，危险的生活方式与较高的受害几率和较高的犯罪发生率相对应。而且，我们发现遵守街道法规对犯罪行为具有直接和间接影响，但对受害行为仅具有间接影响。换句话说，生活方式的措施完全介导了街头文化对受害的影响。最后，我们还发现坚持街头文化对生活方式，受害和违法犯罪之间关系的调节作用。我们的发现的含义进行了讨论。
