Ethnic Differences in the Effect of Parenting on Gang Involvement and Gang Delinquency: A Longitudinal, Hierarchical Linear Modeling Perspective.
Walker-Barnes, Chanequa J.; Mason, Craig A.
Child Development, v72 n6 p1814-31 Nov-Dec 2001
Examined relative influence of peer and parenting behavior on changes in adolescent gang involvement and gang-related delinquency among ninth-graders. Found that gang involvement decreased over the school year, with average levels of gang delinquency remaining constant. Gang involvement and gang-related delinquency were most strongly predicted by peer involvement and delinquency. Parenting effects were especially salient for black students. (Author/KB)
