“…Parental supervision: The degree to which parents control their children and are aware of their activities has been shown to be one of the most consistent predictors of delinquency [111]. The Parental Supervision measure was based on the mean responses to five questions: "If I have been out, my parents asks me what I did, where I went, and who I spent time with"; "If I go out in the evening, my parents tell me when I have to be back home"; "If I am out and it gets late I have to call my parents and let them know"; "My parents check if I have done my homework"; "My parents check that I only watch films/DVDs allowed for my age-group".…”

Abstract:In this article, we examine the role of parental maltreatment and parental social control in violent delinquency in two different countries: Indonesia and the U.S. but we go further by asking if gender makes a difference. We use a sample of Indonesian and U.S. youths from ISRD3 data, a self-reported survey instrument administered across multiple countries. We use logistic regressions to examine the associations between parental maltreatment, parental social control and self-reported violent delinquency and test whether gender and country modifies these associations. We find that both gender and country are significant predictors of violent delinquency. Further, there are differences between Indonesian and U.S. youths in terms of the predictors that are associated with violent delinquent offending. Specifically, parental maltreatment in the form of direct exposure to parental violence is a significant predictor for U.S. youths but not Indonesian youths whereas parental supervision is a significant deterrent of violent offending for both. We also find that girls are more likely to report violent offending than males when indirectly exposed to violence. Thus, our findings reiterate that both gender and context matter.

“…Offenders not only face lifelong disadvantages themselves, but they may have children who go on to experience similar difficulties. Research suggests that parental offending is associated with a range of offspring adverse outcomes (e.g., Farrington, Ttofi, & Crago, 2017;Loeber et al, 2009;Capaldi, Pears, & Owen, 2008). The process by which parents influence their children is described as intergenerational transmission.…”

Objectives: This paper set out to contribute to the literature by linking research into offending pathways with the study of longitudinal effects and intergenerational transmission of mental health. Methods: Data was used from two generations of the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development, a longitudinal study of 411 men from London and their children who were followed since 1961-62. Results: Findings from this study (1) indicate that symptoms of depression and anxiety were highest among those who commenced offending in adulthood and (2) demonstrated familial continuity of mental health: poor offspring mental health was related to father's criminality, but not to their offender group. Conclusions: A thorough understanding of the heterogeneity of offenders is essential for policy and practice. It is suggested that future research further examines individuals who only commence offending in adulthood, since they have been shown to not only face a variety of adverse outcomes themselves, but are also likely to have children with distinct patterns of internalizing problems across.

“…A vast literature engages in the intergenerational transmission of crime. Research has shown that parents' convictions increase the risk of convictions for their offspring (Farrington et al 2017;van de Rakt et al 2008;Rowe and Farrington 1997) and that even grandparents' arrests are predictive of young boys' delinquency (Farrington et al 2001). One study shows that parental incarceration increases the risk for male youth of theft, while parental arrest and convictions had no association to child delinquency (Murray et al 2012).…”

“…A large literature investigates the association between attachment to parents and adolescent delinquency (Agnew 1985;Cernkovich and Giordano 1987;Childs, Sullivan, and Gulledge 2011;Costello and Vowell 1999;Gault-Sherman 2012;Higgins, Jennings, and Mahoney 2010;Jang 1999; Krohn and Massey 1980;Mack et al 2007;Miller et al 2009;Ranking and Kern 1994;Schroeder, Higgins, and Mowen 2014;Wright and Cullen 2001), and supervision and adolescent delinquency (Aseltine 1995;Cernkovich and Giordano 1987;Childs et al 2011;Costello and Vowell 1999;Hirschi 1969;McCord 1991;Wright and Cullen 2001). While a separate literature engages with intergenerational transmission of crime and delinquency (see, e.g., Andersen L. H. 2016;Farrington, Ttofi, and Crago 2017;Huebner and Gustafson 2007;Murray, Loeber, and Pardini 2012;Nijhof, de Kemp, and Engels 2009;van de Rakt, Nieuwbeerta, and de Graaf 2008;Roettger and Swisher 2011;Rowe and Farrington 1997), none of the previously mentioned literature on attachment and supervision examines if parental delinquency moderates the effect of attachment.…”
