The code of the street and low self-control are prominent theories of crime. However, there is no research that examines if these criminogenic dispositions inform each other over time. We utilize the G.R.E.A.T. data to analyze the development of street code adherence and low selfcontrol longitudinally. We find a portion of the stability associated with street code adherence and low self-control to be a product of measurement, as evidenced by correlating error terms across waves. Additionally, we find low self-control to be related to increases in street code adherence especially in later waves and, to a lesser extent, we show effects of street code adherence on subsequent levels of low selfcontrol. We also discuss results from analyses split by race, gender, and neighborhood type. We discuss the theoretical implications of our findings and argue for the development and utility of a broad measure of criminal propensity.

发展犯罪倾向?模拟街道代码的发展效应和随时间推移的低自我控制
街头的代码和低自我控制是犯罪的突出理论。然而,没有研究检查这些犯罪倾向是否会随着时间的推移相互影响。我们利用 GREAT 数据纵向分析街道守则遵守和低自我控制的发展。我们发现与街道代码遵守和低自我控制相关的稳定性的一部分是测量的产物,正如跨波相关误差项所证明的那样。此外,我们发现低自我控制与街道守则依从性的增加有关,尤其是在后期浪潮中,并且在较小程度上,我们显示街道守则对后续低自我控制水平的影响。我们还讨论了按种族、性别和社区类型划分的分析结果。
