“…Repeated measures of youth‐generated parenting styles will yield some amount of change in reported parenting style across years and thus the proportion of the sample that falls into any particular parenting style will shift in the aggregate. Such a study also has higher youth attrition because in this age range, living arrangements are prone to change significantly from year to year (Tapia, Alarid, & Hutcherson, ).…”

“…Youths were asked the extent to which they (1) enjoyed spending time with mom/dad, (2) think highly of mom/dad, and (3) the extent to which mom/dad praises the youth for doing well. This 3‐item parental attachment measure has been used in previous research with this same data set (McCluskey & Tovar, ; Tapia, Alarid & Hutcherson, ). The Cronbach's alpha reliability score was .63 for mothers and .71 for fathers…”

We use the NLSY97 dataset to examine the parenting-delinquency relationship and how it is conditioned by parents' gender, controlling for youths' gender. Generally, neglectful and authoritarian parenting styles were associated with the highest levels of delinquency in youths. When the sample was split by parent gender, authoritarianism held up across both groups, but permissive and neglectful parenting was only significant for fathers. Independent of parenting style, boys have higher delinquency levels than girls. The strength and magnitude of this relationship is nearly identical in separate equations for mothers and fathers. Parental attachment was not a significant protective factor against delinquency for either mothers or fathers.

“…Similarly, because of how risk-level is calculated, higher risk youth likely also have more extensive criminal histories. And we know from prior work that continuous involvement in offending can destabilize families and limit support (Fahmy et al, 2021; Tapia et al, 2015; Tewksbury & Connor, 2012).…”

“…One of these factors is criminal history. Risk scores are calculated so that those with more extensive criminal histories often receive higher risk designations; and research suggests that those with more extensive criminal records have less supportive family relationships (Sampson & Laub, 1997; Tapia et al, 2015; Wiley et al, 2013). Kopf and Mowen (2022), for example, found that individuals with higher levels of self-reported offending had fewer familial emotional supports.…”

“…More specifically, we examine whether high-risk youth—relative to youth with lower risk levels—have less access to social support during confinement. There are reasons to think that they might, including the possibility that higher risk youth have more fractured family dynamics that could make it more difficult to leverage support during this time (Kopf & Mowen, 2022; Sampson & Laub, 1997; Tapia et al, 2015; Wiley et al, 2013). In addition, we also examine whether risk level affects changes in support during confinement.…”

Social support is important for the average incarcerated person, although variation exists. The amount of support received and whether improvements in support are made over confinement can vary across numerous factors including sentence length and quality of family relationships. Preliminary evidence suggests that risk level might also be an important factor to consider, though no study has examined this possibility. Accordingly, the current study examines whether access to social support (family contact, willingness to support, treatment participation, and non-family support) differs based on risk level classification (low, moderate, moderate-high, high). Additionally, we assess how risk level is associated with changes in social support during confinement. Using a sample of incarcerated youth, results show that access to social support, and to a lesser extent changes in social support during confinement, differ across risk level. The findings have important implications for juvenile justice system responses and efforts to promote support.
