Parental Support and Knowledge as Protective Factors for Youth at Risk for Future Offending
The goal in conducting this study was to determine whether two forms of criminal thought process—moral neutralization and cognitive impulsivity—mediate the past delinquency-future delinquency relationship. An additional goal was to see whether parental support and knowledge served as moderators of the mediating effect of moral neutralization and cognitive impulsivity on future delinquency. Participants were 845 early adolescents (406 boys, 439 gi…
Temporal Order and Developmental Context of Aggressive Attitude and Aggressive Behavior
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the relationship between aggressive attitude and aggressive behavior is reciprocal or bidirectional in nature. METHOD: A sample of 845 early adolescent youth (406 boys, 439 girls) between the ages of 10 and 13 (mean = 11.21) served as participants in this study. Aggressive attitudes were assessed with 4 items from the Denver Youth Survey Neutralization scale and aggressive behavior …
Peer‐Aggression Victimization and Perpetration in Middle School Youth
The purpose of this study was to examine early adolescent trajectories of bullying/peer‐aggression in terms of their prevalence, composition, and ability to correlate with concurrent delinquency. Three hypotheses were tested in a group of 1145 middle school students (49.6% male; mean age = 11.23 years) using longitudinal data spread out over three waves. The first hypothesis predicted that bullying/peer‐aggression victimization would be significa…
In search of the origins of crime continuity
The purpose of this study was to test whether the psychological inertia process believed to give rise to crime continuity is limited to aggressive delinquency or evolves from both aggressive and nonaggressive delinquency. Self‐report data provided by 845 early adolescent youth (406 boys, 439 girls) were analyzed in an effort to test the hypothesis that aggressive rather than nonaggressive delinquency precipitates a rise in delinquency through the…
Drifters and Delinquents
The purpose of this study was to compare drift/neutralization and criminal lifestyle interpretations of the neutralization-delinquency nexus in 1,005 (498 boys, 506 girls) youth (mean age = 11.22 years) organized into three groups: no delinquency, low-rate delinquency, and high-rate delinquency. Findings showed that low-rate delinquent youth were as committed to conventional social relationships as nondelinquent youth and more committed to conven…
Patterns and Predictors of Support for Campus Gun Carrying
We investigated differences in support for gun-carrying initiatives on campus in a sample from two Pennsylvania universities. Binary logistic and ordinary least squares regression was used to examine patterns and predictors for three outcomes: support for concealed gun carry, support for open gun carry, and impacts on feelings of safety should concealed gun carry be allowed on campus. We found that faculty and staff were less supportive of all gu…
Moderating the bullying perpetration–delinquency relationship with parental support and knowledge
The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether parental support and knowledge moderate the relationship between bullying perpetration and delinquency. A sample of 305 middle school students (141 boys, 164 girls; 10–12 years of age) served as participants in this study. The research hypothesis predicted that parental support and knowledge would moderate the prospective bullying–delinquency relationship. Testing this hypothesis with least squar…
Differences in Career Aspirations, Influences, and Motives as a Function of Class Standing
The purpose of this study was to determine whether career aspirations, influences, and motives differ by class standing (freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior). A cross-sectional analysis of surveys completed by 204 criminal justice majors revealed a negative correlation between class standing and student interest in a law enforcement career (i.e. freshman and sophomores showed greater interest in a law enforcement career than juniors and senio…
