The writer explored the limits of others' willingness to help offenders by analyzing parents' financial assistance of grown offending and nonoffending offspring. Data from the 1997 cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health showed that despite their strained relationships with their parents, young adult offenders received more parental assistance than do their nonoffending peers and even their own nonoffending siblings. This was partly because they tend to have a variety of other life circumstances that trigger parental assistance. The writer suggested that parents' reactions to offending offspring are curtailed by role norms and obligations of familial duty. |
