City Kids and Country Cousins: Rural and Urban Youths, Deviance, and Labor Market Ties In: Social Awakening: Adolescent Behavior as Adulthood Approaches. R.T. Michael, ed. New York, NY: Russell Sage Foundation, 2001: pp. 379-413 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: Russell Sage Foundation Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Crime; Delinquency/Gang Activity; Deviance; Drug Use; Runaways; Rural Youth; Rural/Urban Differences Chapter: Examined ways in which the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997 and 1979 Cohort (NLSY97 and NLSY79, respectively) contributes to the assessment of trends in youths' illicit activities in both rural and urban areas. The samples consisted of 9,022 Ss (aged 12-18 yrs) from NLSY97 and 12,686 Ss (aged 14-22 yrs) from NLSY79. 11 primary variables were used for the comparative analysis of NLSY97 and NLSY79: drink alcohol, smoke marijuana, destroy property, steal less than $50, steal greater than $50, sell drugs, fight, attack others, run away, suspended, and arrested. Partial support was found to support rural-urban convergence in levels of serious delinquent behavior by youths. It was also found that rural areas exert a unique influence on youth deviance, often in complex, interactive ways. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2000 APA, all rights reserved) |
