“…Alcohol and illegal substances have a well-established association with delinquency (Belcher & Shinitzky, 1998;Gilvarry & McArdle, 2007;Hawkins, Catalano, & Miller, 1992;Merline, O'Malley, Schulenberg, Bachman, & Johnston, 2004). For several years researchers have argued that cigarette, alcohol, and marijuana use are gateways to other deviant behavior as well as social adjustments (Crone & Reijneveld, 2007;Dube et al, 2006;Eaton et al, 2004).…”

The criminal justice system has recognized the need to focus on the delinquent behavior of females; however, the research being conducted focuses on the differences between male and female delinquency and assumes that females are a homogeneous group. In addition, research on Latinas that offers insight into factors that impact their delinquency is limited. The present study uses a nationally representative data set to assess the differential impact of risk indicators on Latina and White female delinquency. The findings highlight the need for race-specific research. Implications for delinquency prevention and intervention programs are discussed.

“…School-age programs that strengthen social skills and positive classroom behavior, parent-child interactions, and a broader set of resistance skills (Belcher & Shinitzky, 1998) demonstrate effectiveness in reducing substance abuse and associated problem behaviors. Preschool programs that improve school readiness and achievement as well as family and school support also show evidence of reducing later behavior problems that lead to substance abuse (Campbell et al, 2002; Reynolds et al, 2001, 2007; Schweinhart et al, 1993, 2005).…”

“…Besides contributing to school underachievement, antisocial behavior, and mental health problems into adulthood (Belcher & Shinitzky, 1998; Gilvarry & McArdle, 2007; Hawkins, Catalano, & Miller, 1992; Merline, O'Malley, Schulenberg, Bachman, & Johnson, 2004), substance use and abuse is linked to increased expenditures for treatment in social service, criminal justice, and health service systems (Monge et al, 1999). Given these serious consequences and growing costs of treatment, identifying malleable risk factors is critical for understanding as well as reducing and ultimately preventing substance abuse and its negative consequences for well-being.…”

Identification of the early determinants of substance abuse is a major focus of life course research. In this study, we investigated the child, family, and school-related antecedents of the onset and prevalence of substance abuse by age 26 for a cohort of 1,208 low-income minority children in the Chicago Longitudinal Study. Data onon well-being have been collected prospectively since birth from administrative records, parents, teachers, and children. Results indicated that the prevalence of substance abuse by age 26 was 32 percent (self reports or criminal justice system records) with a median age of first use of 17. Probit regression analysis indicated that substance abuse prevalence was primarily determined by gender (males had a higher rate), trouble making behavior by age 12, school mobility, and previous substance use. Family and peer predictors included involvement in the child welfare system by age 9, parent expectations for school success at age 9, parent substance abuse by children's age 15, and deviant peer affiliation by age 16. Age of first substance use was predicted by gender and race/ethnicity (males and Blacks had earlier incidence), involvement in the child welfare system, and family risk status at age 8. As with prevalence, the pattern of predictors for males was similar to the overall sample but the magnitude of effects was stronger.. The predictors of the timing of substance use dependency were gender, family conflict by age 5, involvement in the child welfare system, social maturity at age 9, adolescent school mobility, and school dropout by age 16. Findings indicate that the promotion of family involvement and positive school and social behavior can reduce the risk of substance abuse.

“…De nombreux travaux confirment l'influence des pairs dans l'essai et le développement à l'adolescence de la consommation des substances psychoactives (Becker, 1985 ;Belcher & Shnitzky, 1998 ;Marcelli, 1999 ;Peretti-Watel, 2001b). Derrière celle-ci, souvent réprouvée et interdite, aussi bien dans le discours public que dans le discours parental, se cache un besoin de l'adolescent de s'intégrer au groupe de pairs (Bauman & Ennett, 1996) ou de revendiquer son adhésion aux normes culturelles des pairs (Coggans & McKellar, 1994).…”

Consommer la cigarette, le cannabis à l’adolescence : quête identitaire et vulnérabilité dans le parcours de consommation

Consommer la cigarette ou le cannabis fait partie de la norme culturelle adolescente. Il s’agit, à cette étape de la vie, d’une expérience généralisée. Cependant, si à cet âge certains jeunes (filles et garçons) ne font qu’expérimenter, d’autres intensifient progressivement la fréquence de l’usage. Pour comprendre ces différences, l’article interroge le rôle des parents dans la façon dont l’adolescent réagit à l’influence culturelle de ses pairs. L’entretien individuel biographique apparaît être la méthode d’enquête la plus appropriée pour explorer empiriquement le rôle des parents dans le parcours de consommation de substances au cours de l’adolescence. Nous avons mené des entretiens biographiques auprès de quarante-quatre lycéens de la région parisienne en France. Notre échantillon a été constitué par la méthode boule de neige. L’originalité de cet article tient à la façon dont il mobilise le concept de vulnérabilité pour comprendre la consommation de substances psychoactives à l’adolescence : la vulnérabilité de l’adolescent désigne une situation dans laquelle il n’a pas trouvé auprès de ses parents un point de repère normatif à partir duquel organiser son système de valeurs et orienter son comportement. Dès lors, la consommation de cigarettes et de cannabis se révèle être un bon indicateur d’un dysfonctionnement des pratiques parentales et une réponse de l’adolescent à une situation de vulnérabilité.The cigarette or cannabis consumption by teenagers is part of teen culture. It is a generalised experience during adolescence. However, all teenagers have never smoked. Some young people (girls and boys) prefer only to experiment substances, others intensify gradually the frequency of use. In order to understand theses differences in tobacco and cannabis use, the article questions the parents role in the way young people react to cultural peers influence. In order to capture parents role on substances consumption behavior during adolescence, the biographic interview appears to be the most appropriate method of investigation. We carried out 42 biographic interviews with high school students who live in the regions around Paris in France. The sample was built using the snowball method.This study is original because it introduces the concept of vulnerability.The adolescent ‘s vulnerability means a situation in which he does not find with his parents a point of reference enabling him to organize his value system and define his behaviour. So, the psychoactive substances consumption during adolescence constitutes a good indicator revealing a parental dysfunction and an individual solution to face a vulnerability situation.Consumir cigarrillos o cannabis forma parte de la norma cultural adolescente. En esta etapa de la vida se trata de una experiencia generalizada. Sin embargo, si bien a esta edad ciertos jóvenes no hacen más que experimentar (varones y mujeres), otros intensifican progresivamente la frecuencia y el uso. Para comprender estas diferencias, el artículo analiza el papel que cumplen los padres en la manera d...
