“…School misconduct Glueck & Glueck, 1950;Offord, Poushinsky, & Sullivan, 1978), years of schooling completed (Bachman, O'Malley, & Johnston, 1978;, and school achievement Silberberg & Silberberg, 1971) all demonstrate negative correlations with delinquency. Some have sought to explain the observed relationships in terms of social bonds between youths and school Elliott, Ageton, & Canter, 1979), and others have suggested that delinquency is linked to low selfimage (Bachman et aI., 1978;Gold & Mann, 1972;Jensen, 1972). These explanations are consistent with the interactive system that we have described.…”

The first stream was an effort, led by Professor Mark Moore of Harvard University, to think through the current status and future prospects of the juvenile court and the juvenile justice system in the United States. With the support of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), Moore convened a series of conferences on this subject, involving scholars, judges, prosecutors, and others who shared a desire to resolve some of the debates and to clarify the uncertainty surrounding what the juvenile court should and could do. The fruits of those deliberations are contained in the first two volumes of this series: a book by Moore on the role of the court (From Children to Citizens, Volume I: The Mandate for Juvenile Justice) and a collection of essays, edited by Francis X. Hartmann, providing various perspectives on that role (From Children to Citizens, Volume II: The Role of the Juvenile Court).These conferences and essays left Moore and others dissatisfied: Something was missing. It was possible, perhaps, to clarify the mission of the juvenile (or family) court by showing how it could serve as a kind of trustee for "bankrupt families," but it was not clear what kinds of services the court might be able to supply to families in need of help. The court could, of course, punish; but punishment, albeit important, tended to be imposed, for reasons that were not likely to change, on the older, more experienced delinquents. Traditionally, the court was supposed to do more than punish-it was intended to act in loco parentis, helping atrisk children and their parents to avoid the path that led to serious delinquency. The founders of the juvenile court expected it to act early rather than late in the delinquent career and to provide services as well as discipline.Over the years, for reasons explained by Moore, the court has managed to disappoint both those who argue for more certain or more severe punishment and those who favor better and more caring services. As a result, it struggles on in a kind of limbo with an uncertain mandate, a demoralized staff, and weak public support. How the court might better v vi Preface fill its disciplinary role is easily imagined, but many people despair of the court's ever doing much of a preventive or therapeuti...

“…All were measured in Wave 2 of the study. Attachment to mother and father are assessed separately by three items adapted from Gold and Mann (1972), consisting of youths' agreement with the following questions: "You agree with your (mother's/father's) ideas and opinions about things," "(She/He) accepts and understands you as a person," and "You feel close to your (mother/father)," with responses ranging from "almost always true" to "never true" along a five-point scale.…”

“…(1) the student reduces the extent to which they identify with the academic domain, and instead chooses to identify with another domain that can provide the basis for a positive self-view such as delinquent behaviour (e.g., Gold & Mann, 1972;Osborne, 2004) or peer relationships (Osborne, 1997b); (2) the student seeks assistance to improve performance in the domain, eliminating the threat to the self; or (c) the student seeks to escape school through absenteeism or withdrawal (Osborne, 2004). This has been the predominant view in terms of identification with academics and academic success for a while now, particularly as promulgated by the lead author.…”
