The Role of Parental Maltreatment and Parental Social Control on Self-Reported Violent Offending in Indonesia and the U.S.: Does Gender Make a Difference?

Abstract: 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 delinquenc… Show more

“…We hypothesized that child maltreatment would affect the psychosocial processes related to crime propensity and the socioecological processes related to exposure to criminogenic settings. In line with previous studies, the results indicate that physical child maltreatment is associated with general juvenile delinquency (Farrington et al, 2017;Park et al, 2012;Smith and Thornberry, 1995;Wilson et al, 2009) and violent delinquency (Braga et al, 2017;Fitton et al, 2018;Maas et al, 2008;Kokkalera et al, 2018;Manzoni and Schwarzenegger, 2019). In the current study, physical maltreatment also relates to property offenses.…”

“…For decades, scholars have focused on the association between childhood maltreatment and antisocial or delinquent behavior in adolescence and adulthood and findings seem to confirm this relationship. Despite large variations in research designs, methodologies, populations and conceptualizations (Maas et al, 2008; Malvaso et al, 2015), most studies show evidence for an increase of general delinquent behavior (Farrington et al, 2017; Park et al, 2012; Smith and Thornberry, 1995; Wilson et al, 2009) and violent delinquent behavior (Braga et al, 2017; Fitton et al, 2018; Kokkalera et al, 2018; Maas et al, 2008; Manzoni and Schwarzenegger, 2019; Steketee et al, 2019) in juveniles with a history of child maltreatment. Studies generally show a modest relationship.…”

“…The large proportion of offenders among adolescents is in accord with a meta-analysis study that supports the increasing findings of aggressive behaviour in children [ 46 ]. However, the violence report rate is relatively low in many countries, particularly if it depends on police forensic reports [ 38 , 47 ]. The Child Protection Law in Indonesia mandates the obligation to report cases of violence against children; therefore, health professionals (or anyone) should not have any doubt to report such cases to legal authorities [ 48 ].…”

“…In future research, we intend to explore the role of cultural context-meaning, acceptance, and effects of use of physical violence on children-in more detail. Such in-depth analysis may perhaps best be done on a subsample, involving a small number of countries (see, for example, Kokkalera, Marshall, & Haen Marshall, 2018).…”
