In this paper, we examine the relative contribution of four domains of predictors that have been linked to adult criminal involvement: (1) socio-demographic characteristics, (2) family-of-origin factors, (3) proximal processes developed during adolescence, and (4) current lifestyle and situational factors. Cross-sectional data were collected through face-to-face interviews with 242 community-recruited adults. Data analysis involved negative binomial regression. Being male, family size, juvenile delinquency, aggression, living with someone involved in illegal activity and recent violent victimization were independently associated with non-violent criminal involvement. Aggression, association with deviant peers, and recent violent victimization were independently associated with violent criminal involvement. Juvenile delinquency and aggression mediated the affect of multiple family-of-origin characteristics on non-violent criminal involvement and aggression mediated the effect of childhood physical abuse on violent criminal involvement. The results emphasize the importance of investigating both antecedents and proximal risk factors predictive of different types of criminal involvement, which, in turn, will assist in developing risk-focused prevention and intervention programs.
在本文中，我们研究了与成人犯罪卷入相关的四个预测因素领域的相对贡献：（1）社会人口学特征，（2）原生家庭因素，（3）青少年时期形成的近端过程，以及（4）当前的生活方式和情境因素。通过对242名社区招募的成年人进行面对面访谈收集了横断面数据。数据分析采用负二项回归。男性、家庭规模、青少年犯罪、攻击性、与参与非法活动的人同住以及近期遭受暴力侵害与非暴力犯罪卷入独立相关。攻击性、与不良同伴交往以及近期遭受暴力侵害与暴力犯罪卷入独立相关。青少年犯罪和攻击性介导了多种原生家庭特征对非暴力犯罪卷入的影响，而攻击性介导了童年期身体虐待对暴力犯罪卷入的影响。结果强调了调查预测不同类型犯罪卷入的前因和近端风险因素的重要性，这反过来将有助于制定以风险为重点的预防和干预方案。
