When Schools Stay Open Late: The National Evaluation of the 21st-Century Community Learning Centers Program, First Year Findings (2005, background): “For example, Mahoney et al. (2001) found evidence of increased criminal offenses among Swedish students attending youth recreation centers, and Weisman et al.”
Deviant Peer Influences in Intervention and Public Policy for Youth (2006, background): “Finally, youth who are just beginning to engage in deviant behavior appear to be the most susceptible to negative peer infl uence, so it is particularly important to avoid grouping these vulnerable adolescents with more deviant peers (Mahoney et al., 2001).”
Unstructured youth recreation centre participation and antisocial behaviour development: Selection influences and the moderating role of antisocial peers (2004, background): “First, the most compelling evidence that youth centres promote antisocial behaviour involved a longitudinal investigation initiated 30 years ago that was limited to boys and assessed YRC participation on a single occasion (Mahoney et al., 2001).”
The Role of Subjective Well-Being in Positive Youth Development (2004, background): “Extracurricular participation reduces both internalizing (depression) and externalizing (delinquency) problems, especially for youth with detached relationships with their parents (Mahoney 2000; Mahoney and Cairns 1997; Mahoney and Stattin 2002; Mahoney, Stattin, and Magnusson 2001).”
