" ... the purpose of this study is to consider how the arrest of a youth affects parenting. In order to explore the research question, this study tries to integrate social control and life course theories of delinquency in understanding the link between delinquency and parenting. It uses data from the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. A sub-sample was used of youths who were 12 years old in 1997. In this study, parenting is defined as emotional and behavioral attachment to parents and parental monitoring. The results of the study are mixed. They show that arrest influences parenting partially. With respect to emotional attachment, arrested children report both mothers and fathers continue to show less closeness with arrested children than non-arrested children a year after the arrest. However, there appears to be positive changes in parental respect by arrested children and parental behavior toward arrested children. On the other hand, there was no evidence of increased parental monitoring after the arrest." |
