Do Adolescents Engage in Delinquency to Attract the Social Attention of Peers? An Extension and Longitudinal Test of the Social Reinforcement Hypothesis (2006, background): “In addition, given that delinquency has been linked to divorce and separation between an adolescent’s parents (Rebellon 2002) and that age is related to both delinquency and adolescent socializing (Warr 2002), family structure and age were included as control variables in the ordinary least squares…”
The Social Learning Theory of Crime and Deviance (2009, result): “Studies directly comparing social learning theory with other theories using the same data collected from the same samples have found additional empirical support for social learning theory (for instance, see Benda, 1994; Burton, Cullen, Evans, & Dunaway, 1994; Neff & Waite, 2007; Rebellon, 2002).”
Reassessing the family-delinquency association: Do family type, family processes, and economic factors make a difference? (2007, background): “…that many single-parent households are, by nature, a social setting that hampers the establishment of bonds to conformity because half of the parental unit is absent and unable to provide proper control, supervision, and socialization of the child (e.g., Rebellon, 2002; Sampson & Laub, 1993).”
