Youth Employment, Crime, and Schooling: A Longitudinal Study of a National Sample.
Gottfredson, Denise C.
Developmental Psychology, v21 n3 p419-32 May 1985

Models examined suggest working decreases school attendance and dependence on parents for some subgroups, but these effects are not translated into increases in delinquency. (Author/DST)
