Abstract

ABSTRACT There have been a number of studies that have examined the relationship between Anderson’s code of the street and criminogenic behavior. However, little research has been done on the potential relationship between street code adherence and the dark figure of crime. Using a sample of 299 institutionalized individuals the authors examine the relationship between street code adherence and official and unofficial records of assaults and motor vehicle theft. Results official records indicated that street code adherence was not significantly related to either offense type. However, when self-report data for assaults and motor vehicle theft was analyzed, there was strong evidence that street code adherence was a significant predictor. The results suggest that street code adherence is a better predictor of self-report offenses than those measured by official records. Thus, street code adherence may be key to shedding light on the dark figure of crime.

一个制度化样本中的街道代码与犯罪的黑暗数字的检验
已经有许多研究考察了安德森的街头准则与犯罪行为之间的关系。然而,很少有人研究遵守街道法规和犯罪黑暗面之间的潜在关系。作者以299名被收容的个人为样本,研究了遵守街道法规与官方和非官方的袭击和机动车盗窃记录之间的关系。结果官方记录显示,遵守街道法规与两种犯罪类型均无显著相关。然而,当对攻击和机动车盗窃的自我报告数据进行分析时,有强有力的证据表明,遵守街道法规是一个重要的预测因素。结果表明,与官方记录相比,遵守街道法规能更好地预测自我报告的犯罪行为。因此,遵守街道法规可能是揭露犯罪黑暗面的关键。

期刊介绍: Criminal Justice Studies, a quarterly refereed journal, publishes articles that deal with substantive criminal justice and criminological issues. The journal welcomes all articles that are relevant to the issue of criminal justice, as well as those that may be outside the field but have relevancy to the topic of criminal justice. Articles that cover public administration, issues of public policy, as well as public affairs issues are welcome. The journal also publishes relevant literature reviews, research notes and summary reports of innovative research projects in criminal justice. Qualitative and quantifiable articles are sought mainly from academics and researchers in the field, though articles from professionals will also be considered.
