The purpose of this study was to explore the long-term effects of parental divorce on young adult male crime from a longitudinal perspective. Four hundred and twenty-three males were randomly selected from a Danish birth cohort. Results of analyses of variance showed an initial significant relationship between divorce and young adult crime. However, the effects of divorce disappeared when further path analysis controlled for the effects of social class and father's criminality. In addition, time of divorce did not have an effect on later criminal behavior.
本研究旨在从纵向角度探讨父母离婚对年轻成年男性犯罪的长期影响。从丹麦出生队列中随机选择了 423 名男性。方差分析的结果表明，离婚与年轻成年犯罪之间存在初步显著关系。然而，当进一步的路径分析控制了社会阶层和父亲犯罪的影响时，离婚的影响就消失了。此外，离婚时间对后来的犯罪行为没有影响。
