Mellin, Elizabeth A.; Fang, Hong-Ning
Journal of Addictions & Offender Counseling, v30 n2 p58-72 Apr 2010
This study found that lack of involvement in prosocial institutions, affiliation with other troubled youth, and indifference regarding personal safety partially mediate the relationship between depression and delinquency among justice-involved female adolescents. The results suggest that depression may not be the primary conduit to delinquency. (Contains 2 tables.)
