The aims of this study were (1) to examine the childhood, early adolescent, and late adolescent predictors of young adult drug use and delinquency; and (2) to explore the effects of drug use on delinquent behavior.
Data were gathered during the course of a 20-year longitudinal study of children representative of the Northeast. Data were gathered on childhood aggression, early and late adolescent drug use and delinquency, and young adult drug use and delinquency.
Overall, the results were consistent with our proposed model. Childhood aggression had an adverse effect on young adult drug use and female deviant behavior. Drug use and delinquency during early and late adolescence served as the mediator between childhood aggression and young adult drug use. Moreover, adolescent drug use was associated with later delinquency.
The findings indicated that childhood aggression was related to both young adult drug use and delinquency. Second, there was stability of drug use and delinquency between early adolescence and young adulthood. Third, drug use during early adolescence had an impact on delinquency not only in early adolescence, but also in late adolescence and young adulthood.
本研究的目的是：（1）考察儿童期、青少年早期和青少年晚期因素对青年期吸毒和犯罪行为的预测作用；（2）探讨吸毒对犯罪行为的影响。
数据来自一项对东北部儿童进行的为期20年的纵向研究。收集了有关儿童期攻击行为、青少年早期和晚期的吸毒与犯罪行为以及青年期的吸毒与犯罪行为的数据。
总体而言，结果与我们提出的模型一致。儿童期攻击行为对青年期吸毒和女性越轨行为有不良影响。青少年早期和晚期的吸毒与犯罪行为充当了儿童期攻击行为与青年期吸毒之间的中介。此外，青少年吸毒与后期犯罪行为有关。
研究结果表明，儿童期攻击行为与青年期吸毒和犯罪行为均有关联。其次，青少年早期至青年期吸毒和犯罪行为具有稳定性。第三，青少年早期吸毒不仅对青少年早期的犯罪行为有影响，对青少年晚期和青年期的犯罪行为也有影响。
