Research suggests that convicted persons are more likely than non-convicted persons to suffer poor health. However, few longitudinal studies have investigated associations between health and offending across generations. Using the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development, this article prospectively investigates the relationship between health and offending across generations and between genders. At the average age of 25, third generation convicted males and females reported a higher incidence of serious drug use than non-convicted persons. Convicted males reported a higher incidence of mental illness and self-harm, whereas convicted females reported a lower incidence of physical illness, mental illness, self-harm and hospitalizations when compared to non-convicted females. Convicted males reported a higher incidence of industrial accidents, sports injuries and fight injuries, but a lower incidence of road accidents, whereas convicted females were more likely to report road accidents. Like their fathers, convicted males show worse health compared to non-convicted individuals.
研究表明，与未被定罪的人相比，被判有罪的人更有可能健康状况不佳。然而，很少有纵向研究调查过代际间健康状况和犯罪行为之间的关联。本文利用剑桥犯罪发展研究，前瞻性地调查了代际间和性别间健康状况和犯罪行为之间的关系。在平均年龄为 25 岁时，第三代被定罪的男性和女性报告称，严重药物滥用的发生率高于未被定罪的人。与未被定罪的女性相比，被定罪的男性报告称，他们更有可能患有精神疾病和自残，而被定罪的女性则更有可能患有身体疾病、精神疾病、自残和住院治疗。被定罪的男性报告称，他们更有可能遭遇工业事故、运动损伤和打架受伤，但道路事故的发生率较低，而被定罪的女性则更有可能报告道路事故。与他们的父亲一样，被定罪的男性与未被定罪的个体相比，健康状况更差。
