The Conditional Effect of Social Class on the Dropout- Delinquency Relationship Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency 33,2 (May 1996): 232-255. Also: http://jrc.sagepub.com/content/33/2/232.full.pdf+html Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Control; Delinquency/Gang Activity; Dropouts; High School Dropouts; Social Environment; Social Roles Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Data from the 1979/80 waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (initial N = 12,686 respondents) are drawn on to test the proposition that middle-class dropouts are more likely to engage in delinquency as a result of dropping out than lower-class dropouts. Social control & strain theory explanations for the observed dropout-delinquency relationships are evaluated. Results support the hypothesis, & indicate that support for strain theory or social control theory is dependent on the reasons for dropping out of school. Implications for intervention are discussed. 6 Tables, 1 Appendix, 28 References. Adapted from the source document. (Copyright 1997, Sociological Abstracts, Inc., all rights reserved.) |
