Recent literature calls for scholars to bridge the divide that has emerged between criminology and regulation and governance. In the current work, we propose that criminological opportunity theories provide one fruitful pathway to that end. Specifically, we introduce the notion of regulatory guardianship based on the concepts of guardians, guardian capability, and guardian willingness to intervene, and connect them to the regulation and governance literature. We demonstrate the utility of this perspective as the building blocks for improving theoretical understanding of the effectiveness of a broad range of parties engaged in compliance work in specific regulatory environments. Considering new empirical insights into regulatory guardianship in the design of future legislation and systems of oversight and accountability may also improve governance implementation and effectiveness.

重新让犯罪学参与监管和治理：监管监护的协同研究议程


最近的文献呼吁学者弥合犯罪学与监管和治理之间出现的鸿沟。在目前的工作中，我们提出犯罪学机会理论为实现这一目标提供了一条富有成效的途径。具体来说，我们根据监护人、监护人能力和监护人干预意愿的概念引入了监管监护的概念，并将它们与监管和治理文献联系起来。我们证明了这一观点的效用，作为提高对在特定监管环境中从事合规工作的广泛各方的有效性的理论理解的基石。在设计未来的立法以及监督和问责制度时，考虑对监管监护的新实证见解，也可能改善治理实施和有效性。
