Explaining Delinquency and Drug UseThe authors present a methodologically flawless research piece, using longitudinal interview data collected from delinquent and drug using adolescents. Their theoretical model synthesizes traditional perspectives into a single paradigm. It accounts for sustained patterns of delinquent behaviour, and demonstrates that involvement with peers is the strongest predictor of delinquency. This highly readable book should become a landmark in the field of delinquency research. |
