Abstract
Description
PUBLISHED
Studies have shown repeatedly a consistent relationship between juvenile delinquency and large family size, marital disharmony, alcohol abuse in parents and overall social deprivation. A consistent relationship has also been shown with delayed reading age, below average scores on intelligence and achievement tests, conduct disorder of childhood and parental aggressive behaviour. Among the many follow-up studies of delinquents are those of Kolvin (1988), West (1982) and Robins (1978). The aim of the following study was to assess 50 delinquent boys ten years after their first admission to a national treatment centre for young male offenders, with the above associations in mind.
