Introduction

This study partially tests Agnew’s (2005, 2011) general theory of crime and delinquency, drawing out the differential roles of parenting, constraints, and motivations when comparing general delinquency trajectories and serious delinquency trajectories.

Methods

Using data from a 7-year follow-up study of 927 South Korean male adolescents, the study incorporates a group-based trajectory modeling to identify subgroups, each having a unique pattern of trajectories, respectively.

Results

The models yielded 3 subgroups: Early onset & decreaser, Increaser & late peak, and Normative for general delinquency as well as Serious delinquent, Moderate delinquents, and Normative for serious delinquency. The results reveal that compared to Normative group, parenting styles were significant of both the Moderate and Serious delinquents groups for only serious delinquency even after controlling for constraints and motivations. The odds of belonging to both the Early-Onset & Decreaser and Increaser & Late Peak groups for general delinquency and the Moderate Delinquents group for serious delinquency were significantly higher for those who more frequently associated with delinquent peers. Depression was significant among members of the Early-Onset & Decreaser group, while school connectedness was significant among members of the Increaser & Late Peak group for general delinquency. There were no mediating role of constraints and motivations in the parent-delinquency prediction.

Conclusions

Intervention programs aimed at improving parenting skills can be developed to decrease the likelihood of delinquency.

教养方式对一般和严重犯罪轨迹模式的影响：学校气候和犯罪同伴协会的中介模型

介绍

本研究部分测试了 Agnew (2005, 2011) 的一般犯罪和犯罪理论，在比较一般犯罪轨迹和严重犯罪轨迹时，得出了养育、约束和动机的不同作用。

方法

该研究使用来自对 927 名韩国男性青少年的 7 年随访研究的数据，结合基于组的轨迹模型来识别亚组，每个亚组分别具有独特的轨迹模式。

结果

该模型产生了 3 个亚组：早发和减少者、增加者和晚高峰、一般犯罪的规范以及严重犯罪、中度犯罪和严重犯罪的规范。结果显示，与规范组相比，中度和重度违法者的教养方式仅在即使在控制了限制和动机之后，仍是严重的违法行为。对于那些更经常与同龄犯罪者联系在一起的人，属于一般犯罪的早发和减少和增加和晚期高峰组以及严重犯罪的中度犯罪组的几率显着更高。早发和减少组成员的抑郁症是显着的，而增加和晚高峰组成员的学校连通性在一般犯罪方面显着。在父母犯罪预测中没有约束和动机的中介作用。

结论

可以制定旨在提高育儿技能的干预计划，以减少犯罪的可能性。
