Document Summary
Broken home hypothesis: tend to bash single mothers. High rate of delinquency associated with broken homes. Link between a single parent and high delinquency rate. Family income is also a big factor. Parent may get divorced, now have lower income, may have to move to lower income. Lower income households the children are more at risk for criminality neighbourhood in which there is a lot of criminal influence. Is there a link between delinquency and different parental styles. There are different types of parental styles. She identifies two main ideas their responsiveness (supportive?) and their demandingness (demanding appropriate behaviour?) Linked with authoritarian parents they revolt and become a rebel without a cause. Permissive/disengaged: too much freedom and they then commit crime, not enough rules. With rich parents we can see how money can lead to no good (drinking/drugs) Tough love did not work as it increased rebellion and runaways.
