本研究的主要目的是探讨三代亲属(父亲、母亲、儿子、女儿、叔叔、阿姨、爷爷奶奶)的违法行为与家庭中违法行为的集中度之间的相互关系。这项研究还调查了犯罪亲属在多大程度上预测男孩的犯罪行为。匹兹堡1395名8岁、11岁或14岁男孩的父母报告说，所有亲属都逮捕了他们。家长关于Buys被捕的报告预测了他们后来会被移交给少年法庭，这证明了预测的有效性。罪犯高度集中在家庭中；如果一个亲属被逮捕，很可能另一个亲属也被逮捕。逮捕亲属与逮捕男孩、男孩的法庭请愿书和男孩报告的犯罪行为(根据父母、男孩和老师的说法)进行了比较。兄弟、姐妹、父亲、母亲、叔叔、阿姨、祖父和祖母的被捕都预示着男孩的犯罪行为。最重要的亲属是父亲；逮捕父亲预示着男孩的犯罪行为独立于所有其他被捕的亲属。对解释变量的研究表明，有一个年轻的母亲，住在一个糟糕的社区，对买东西的负罪感很低，这可能是被捕父亲和犯罪男孩之间因果关系的纽带。(C)2001年青少年服务专业人员协会。
The maul aims of this study were to investigate inter-relationships among offending by three generations of relatives (fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, uncles, aunts, grandfathers anti grandmothers) and the concentration of offending in families. This study also investigates how far criminal relatives predict a boy's delinquency. The parents of 1395 Pittsburgh boys aged 8, 11 or 14 reported arrests by all relatives. Parent reports of buys' arrests predicted their later referrals to juvenile court, demonstrating predictive validity. Offenders were highly concentrated in families; if one relative had been arrested, there was a high likelihood that another relative had also been arrested. Arrests of relatives were compared with arrests of the boy, court petitions of the boy, and the boy's reported delinquency (according to the parent, boy and teacher). Arrests of brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, uncles, aunts, grandfathers and grandmothers all predicted the boy's delinquency. The most important relative was the father; arrests of the father predicted the boy's delinquency independently of all other arrested relatives. Studies of explanatory variables suggested that having a young mother, living in a bad neighbourhood, and low guilt of the buy may be links in the causal chain between arrested fathers and delinquent boys.
