剑桥—蕯莫维青少年研究(英语:Cambridge Somerville Youth Study),是犯罪学史上第一个大规模随机实验。 [1] 1936年,波士顿医生Richard Cabot博士安排下,提出一项实验评估早期干预在预防或降低青少年犯罪方面的效果。1939年,Edwin Powers和Helen Witmer发起该实验。[2][3]
计划
这项研究中,506名5至13岁、住在马萨诸塞州东部的青少年收容设施中的男孩,受选并分配到实验组,或对照组。实验组会获配一名辅导员,接受学业辅导、生理医疗及心理辅导,参加基督教青年会、童子军、夏令营和社区活动。对照组则定期报告状况。[2][4][5]
研究
在一开始与十年的随访,两者间没有差异,或负相关的比例占多数。[2] 在最初的实验30年后,琼‧麦科德透过公共纪录与调查追踪约九成五的参与者。 [5] [6]
麦科德的报告指出:在官方或非官方记录衡量下,该计划没有影响青少年逮捕率。该计划也没有影响其成年后的逮捕率。实验组在严重犯罪数量、首次犯罪年龄、首次重大犯罪的年龄或未实施重大犯罪后的年龄等方面没有差异。与对照组相比,实验组中有更大比例继续犯下更多罪行。 [5]
进一步的结论
1981年,根据收集的《剑桥—蕯莫维青少年研究》参与者的新数据,麦科德发表了新的研究成果。与对照组相比,实验组有下列行为的比例显着增加:
- 酗酒
- 严重心理健康疾患
- 患有压力相关的疾病,特别是心脏方面的疾病
- 从事低成就的工作
- 对蓝领工作的满意度较低
麦科德提出了四个假设,解释为什么计划对实验组产生破坏性后果:
- 辅导员将中产阶级价值观强加给底层阶级青年,而这无助于实验组青少年。
- 实验组的男孩变得依赖辅导员,而当计划结束时,男孩失去了帮助的来源
- 实验组有标签效应
- 辅导员的帮助增加了实验组男孩无法持续的期待,导致计划结束后的幻想破灭。[3][5][7]
