Drawing on general strain theory of crime, the study employs the survey data from a random sample of 600 school students in Lviv, Ukraine, to examine how sanction risks and social bonds mediate and moderate the relationship between strain and adolescent delinquency. Findings from negative binomial regressions and the KHB decomposition procedure demonstrate that fear of sanctions and levels of social control mediate the relationships between strain and delinquency to a different degree, depending on the type of strain experienced. Results concerning conditioning effects are mixed, with only parental monitoring found to be a moderator of the strain-delinquency link. However, the direction of the interaction effect is unexpected. Future research needs to improve the specification of strain models and evaluate them in other sociocultural contexts.
本研究借鉴犯罪的一般应变理论，采用来自乌克兰利沃夫600名在校学生的随机样本的调查数据，以检验制裁风险和社会纽带如何中介和调节应变与青少年犯罪之间的关系。负二项回归和KHB分解程序的结果表明，对制裁的恐惧和社会控制水平在不同程度上中介了应变与犯罪之间的关系，这取决于所经历的应变类型。关于调节效应的结果好坏参半，只有父母的监督被发现是应变与犯罪联系的调节因素。然而，交互效应的方向出乎意料。未来的研究需要改进应变模型的设定，并在其他社会文化背景下对其进行评估。
