Peer Pressure, Peer Prevention: The Role of Friends in Crime and Conformity
Autor Barbara J. Costello, Trina L. Hopeen Limba Engleză Paperback – mar 2016
Costello and Hope take a first step toward uncovering the mechanisms of peer influence, drawing on quantitative and qualitative data collected from two convenience samples of university students. Their quantitative analyses showed that positive peer influence occurs most frequently among those who associate with the most deviant peers and self-report the most deviance, contrary to predictions drawn from social learning theories. Their qualitative data revealed a variety of methods of negative influence, including encouraging deviant behavior for others' amusement, a motive for peer influence never before reported in the literature.

Recenzii
"This is an original effort to calm long-standing squabbles among criminologists about the place of peers in explanations of deviant acts. Costello and Hope see that these disputes—fueled by deductive theory and statistical analyses—may be resolved by quietly questioning people performing and reacting to the acts in question. Their findings justify their effort. All is not as we have been led to believe. The several claimants to this disputed territory—whether strain, control, or learning theorists—will find good reasons to rethink their claims. Need I note that such progress is rare?"
-Travis Hirschi, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University of Arizona.
"This book makes a major contribution by considering how peer pressure goes in multiple directions. It broadens our discussion of peer effects on crime and thus can help resolve many of the issues that have been discussed for many decades."
- Marcus Felson, Professor of Sociology, Texas State University
"Criminologists know little more about mechanisms of peer influence or the everyday social interaction of youth than they did a generation ago. This is a sad and startling admission, particularly in light of all the attention that peer influence has received in recent years. This book brings the authority and richness of real life back into the study of peer influence, along with an abundance of original insights and ideas. For an area often hindered by methodological controversies and theoretical inertia, this should be welcome news. Costello and Hope deserve our thanks."

Descriere
Criminological research has largely neglected the possibility that positive peer influence is a powerful source of social control. Costello and Hope take a first step toward uncovering the mechanisms of peer influence, drawing on data collected from two convenience samples of university students. Their quantitative analyses showed that positive peer influence occurs most frequently among those who associate with the most deviant peers and self-report the most deviance. Their qualitative data revealed a variety of methods of negative influence, including overt pressure in the form of ridicule and also encouraging deviant behavior for others' amusement.
