Lecture Outline
Family/parenting risk factors:
1. Criminal and antisocial parents: Crime runs in families or is constituted in some families
- Intergenerational continuities in exposure to multiple risk factors (same exposure to risk
factors)
- Assortative mating: criminal people marry criminal people.
- Influences of family members on each other (siblings, aunts, uncles, parents, etc.)
- Criminal parent→environment→child’s offending (what they are being exposed to. Lack
of supervision. Think that its okay to act the way that they are acting) (Shameless)
- Genetics
- Official (police and court) bias against known criminal families
2. Large family size (increases, but not every large family)
- Parents paying less attention to any one child
- House becomes overcrowded

3. Child-rearing methods
- Parental supervision (Social Bonding Theory. Supevision adds this element of control)
- Parental discipline
- Cold, rejecting parents
