This study explores short term effects of family transitions on juvenile deviant behavior, and utilizes three types of theories to explain why family transition matters. They are socialization theory, economic strain theory and emotional strain theory. The data are drawn from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY 97). By utilizing the multilevel Rasch modeling, this study combines the longitudinal study of within person change with the cross-sectional study of between-person difference and presents the audience with a broader view on the relationship between family structure and juvenile delinquency.
