Document Summary
Causal factors throughout canadian history and youth gangs and peer influences have been linked to crime and delinquency for at least 100 years. Schools were thought of during 19th as solution to delinquency. Children not attached to parents will be more delinquent than those who are attached. Residents complained that communities plagued by fearless, disrespectful young people and derelict parents are breeding criminals poisoning themselves. Most research examining relationship between family factors and youth crime has looked at either the structure of the family. Examine family structures as broken or whether both parents are working. Family relationship studies are not as tied to these assumptions and look at such things as parenting skills, parenting skills, parental supervision of children, parenting styles and young peoples attachments to parents. Microscopic perspective: in sociology and criminology, refers to theoretical approaches that focus on individuals and behavior in small social settings rather than in the context of larger social structures.
