We found that the strength of the association between attachment and delinquency was negatively related to age, suggesting that the influence of attachment to
parents on delinquency weakens as youngsters become older.

Wim Meeus and several colleagues report that parental influence
on adolescent offending is strongest when an adolescent has no intimate partners; parental support did not influence
delinquency for youth who consistently had a romantic partner over the course of the six - year study.88 In another recent study of serious adolescent offenders, girls who self - reported delinquent behavior were more likely to be strongly encouraged in that behavior by their current romantic partner.89 Interestingly, the association between partner encouragement and self - reported offending was strongest among youth reporting warm relationships with their opposite - sex
parent.

Effects of Early Family /
Parent Training Programs
on Antisocial Behavior and
Delinquency.
Thus, both the child and the
parent are active agents in the process of the link between knowledge
on whereabouts of the child and
delinquency.
In addition to theoretical implications, our results concerning the link between discrete
parenting behaviors (monitoring, neglectfulness, rejection) and
delinquency have implications for intervention and prevention policies focusing
on delinquency, in particular
parent management training programs.
Because most studies focused
on general
delinquency and to a much lesser extent
on overt or covert
delinquency we were able to conduct moderator analyses for only two
parenting dimensions (support and indirect
parenting).
Thus, given the small number of previous studies
on parenting styles and
delinquency, definite conclusions
on whether
parenting styles have stronger links to
delinquency than
parenting dimensions or which
parenting style has the strongest link to
delinquency can not be drawn.
Future studies should extend research
on parenting styles and
delinquency in order to clarify whether these combinations of
parenting characteristics have stronger associations with
delinquency than only single dimensions.
The protective effects of positive
parenting and self - control were significantly associated with problem behaviors and the risk effects of the association with deviant peers and negative stigma were significant
on the final level of
delinquency.
Given that
parenting may be differentially linked to overt and covert
delinquency (see also, Loeber et al. 2008), future studies
on delinquency should distinguish between overt and covert behaviors.
Children were eligible for inclusion if their
parents had scored them above the 98th percentile
on the Aggression or
Delinquency Scales of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL).
Even though the included longitudinal studies showed that poorer
parenting practices preceded delinquent behavior, a bidirectional view
on parent — child relations can not be rejected as we do not know whether the child - rearing characteristics had been influenced by earlier
delinquency or other problem behaviors of the child.
Although hardly any studies were found
on the link between a neglectful
parenting style and
delinquency, studies that measured parental neglect unidimensionally resulted in strong links between neglectfulness and
delinquency (ESr = 0.29).
Future studies should make an effort to involve both fathers and mothers in their investigations and more clearly distinguish between father's and mother's reports
on parenting when analyzing the link between
parenting and
delinquency.
Given these issues, we included the source (self - reported or official
delinquency) and type (overt or covert) of
delinquency as a possible moderator
on the
parenting —
delinquency link.
Four selection criteria were used to select studies: operationalization of
delinquency and
parenting (described in more detail below), investigations
on Western samples only (given cultural differences in
parenting), and investigations where bivariate associations between
parenting and
delinquency were reported (as multivariate results can not be compared across studies).
In a series of meta - analyses we summarize and integrate previous findings
on the link between
parenting and
delinquency.
We found significant links between all
parenting dimensions and
delinquency but the magnitude of the relation depended
on the particular
parenting dimension.
On the basis of these findings one would expect to find stronger links between poor
parenting and overt
delinquency compared to covert
delinquency.
Researchers collecting information
on parenting should take the effects of different informants
on parenting —
delinquency associations into consideration when they interpret their findings and should control for social desirability of informants.
We consider four main moderators: gender of the child and the
parent,
delinquency source and type, informant
on parenting (
parent or child), and short - vs. long - term relationships and also analyze methodological moderators related to study quality.
Therefore, we should not rule out that the link between
parenting and
delinquency may also be due to the impact of
delinquency on parenting.
Some studies
on parenting and
delinquency used information about
parenting reported by the child, whereas other studies used the
parent as an informant.
Therefore, knowledge
on the link between
parenting and
delinquency has implications for prevention and intervention policies focusing
on delinquency, in particular
parent education and skills training.

Parenting on Sibling Differences in Self - Control and
Delinquency Among Brother — Sister Pairs.
However, as a check
on quality control, we also examined whether several methodological characteristics (sample size, number of items in
delinquency and
parenting questionnaires, reliability of the
parenting questionnaire, publication status, and journal impact factor), moderated the link between
parenting and
delinquency.
Studies vary
on the kinds of
delinquency and
parenting dimensions that are investigated,

Parental criminality, arrests, and incarceration are at least modest predictors of violent and serious child
delinquency, and there is evidence that the impact of
parent criminality
on child antisocial behavior is mediated by
parenting practices.
Fact: «Although early research suggests that youth living in two -
parent biological families fare better
on a range of developmental outcomes than those in single -
parent or alternative structures (Amato and Keith, 1991), this research typically finds that effects of family structure
on developmental outcomes such as
delinquency are not strong (Hetherington and Kelly, 2002)... More tangible differences in family dynamics or circumstances — such as supervision practices — are largely responsible when study groups have different outcomes... The highest rates of
delinquency were for youth in father - only households, followed by father - stepmother...»

Adolescent emotional and behavioural problems result in great personal, social and monetary cost.1, 2 The most serious, costly and widespread adolescent problems — suicide,
delinquency, violent behaviours and unintended pregnancy — are potentially preventable.3 In addition to high - risk behaviours, such as the use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs;
parents of adolescents also express concerns in everyday
parenting issues, such as fighting with siblings, talking back to adults and not doing school work.4 These parental concerns are often perceived as normative during adolescence and the impact
on family dynamics, such as parental stress and negative
parent — adolescent relationships, is often undermined.
For the coding of the study characteristics we applied the system that we developed for a previous meta - analysis
on parenting and
delinquency (Hoeve et al. 2009).
In sum, attachment theory is a theory of both normal and abnormal development that focuses
on the impact of
parent - child attachment relationships
on healthy development and psychopathology, including juvenile
