“…Ayrıca bu değişkenin de psikolojik sıkıntı değişkeni ile yüksek derecede ilişkili olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Benzer şekilde Wu (1996), Cherlin (1992) veBumpass ve Lu (2000 çalışmalarında iyi bir aile ortamında yetişmeyen ve ebeveynleri ayrı olan çocukların potansiyel olarak suça daha kolaylıkla karışabilecekleri ileri sürülmektedir. Bu sonuçlardan farklı olarak, Mack, Leiber, Featherstoneve Monserud(2007) çalışmalarında ise aile türünün çocuk suçluluğu üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi bulunamamıştır.…”

ÖzÇocukların yaşadıkları ülkenin kaderini değiştirebilecekleri bilinen bir gerçektir. Bu nedenle çocuk suçluluğunun yarattığı olumsuz sonuçların en aza indirilmesi toplumların gelecekleri açısından büyük öneme sahiptir. Ancak bu konuya salthukuksal açıdan bakmak yetersiz kalmakta, çocuğu suça yönelten tüm psikolojik ve sosyolojik etmenlerin araştırılması gerekmektedir.Bu çalışmada, Ankara ilinde suça karışmış ve suçlu olduğu kesinleşmiş erkek çocukları suça yönelten etmenler Chaid analizi ile araştırılmıştır. Çözümlemedeçocukların suça karışmasını en iyi açıklayan değişkenin eğitim durumu olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Sonuçlar ikinci önemli etmen olarak çocuğun sosyal çevresini göstermektedir. Çocuklar bulundukları sosyal çevrenin olumsuz etkisi ile bağımlılık yapan madde kullanımına başlayabilmektedir. Diğer önemli etmen ise çocuğun ailesinin ekonomik durumudur. Ekonomik anlamda yetersiz koşullarda yetişen çocuk daha fazla suça yönelmektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: çocuk suçluluğu, CHAID Analizi AbstractIt is well known that children can change the destiny of the country. Therefore, to minimize negative consequences caused by the juvenile delinquency has great importance for the future. But it is insufficient to consider only legal aspects for this reason it is necessary to investigate all the psychological and sociological factors that lead to juvenile delinquency. In this study, factors that led the boys to be convicted in delinquency and to get involved in delinquency were investigated by CHAID analysis in the province of Ankara. The results of the analysis suggest that the variable that best describes the delinquency of children was found out to be the level of education. The results indicate the child's social environment as the second most important factor. The use of addictive substances can start with the negative impact of the social environment in which the child lives. Another important factor is the economic situation of the child's family. Children who grew up economically poor conditions stend towards more delinquency.

“…First, the population of women who give birth out of wedlock is obviously a select group. Some of the economic consequences of teenage childbirth are endogenous (Hotz, McElroy, and Sanders 2005), with many never-married mothers themselves the product of poor, unstable families (Wu 1996).…”

We examine the changing social and economic characteristics of women who give birth out of wedlock. Using Current Population Survey data collected between 1982 and 2002, we find that never-married mothers remain impoverished. Their income growth over these years was modest despite substantial gains in education, employment, and other individual characteristics generally associated with prosperity. These results affirm the ongoing role of family structure in shaping American inequality.

“…Multiple pathways link family structure to children's life chances: economic deprivation (Bianchi Trends in the Inheritance of Poverty and Family Structure, Page 7 poverty and family structure are associated with both poverty and family formation later in life. Children who are poor in one generation are disproportionately poor in the next (Corcoran 2001;Corcoran and Adams 1997;Duncan, Yeung, and Brooks-Gunn 1998); girls who grow up poor are more likely to start their families early and to start them outside of marriage (Wu 1996). Likewise, children who spend time with a single parent have higher poverty rates and lower levels of occupational and educational attainment than children from two-parent families (Astone and McLanahan 1991;Raftery 1993, 1999;McLanahan 1985;McLanahan and Sandefur 1994;Sandefur, McLanahan, and Wojtkiewicz 1992;Wojtkiewicz 1993); girls from single-parent families are more likely to become single mothers later in life (McLa nahan 1988;McLanahan and Bumpass 1988;McLanahan and Sandefur 1994;Wu 1996;Wu and Martinson 1993).…”

January 17, 2004Trends in the Inheritance of Poverty and Family Structure RECENT TRENDS IN THE INHERITANCE OF POVERTY AND FAMILY STRUCTUREABSTRACT. This study investigates trends in the interdependence of poverty and family structure from one generation to the next, focusing specifically on mothers and daughters. This aspect of the mobility process has not been explored, despite widespread concern about the life chances of children in poor single-parent families and dramatic changes in the distributions of poverty and family structure in recent decades. We examine origin-by-destination status along the two dimensions of poverty and family structure, using rich panel data and loglinear models to parse out the associations between poverty and family structure within and across generations. Our results show that the intergenerational associations between poverty and family structure are strong, but operate through largely independent pathways. Net of the correlation between poverty and family structure within a generation, the intergenerational transmission of poverty is significantly stronger than the intergenerational transmission of family structure, and neither childhood poverty nor family structure affects the other in adulthood. Finally, despite important changes in the distributions of poverty and family structure, we find no evidence of change in the processes of intergenerational inheritance over time.Trends in the Inheritance of Poverty and Family Structure, Page 1 RECENT TRENDS IN THE INHERITANCE OF POVERTY AND FAMILY STRUCTUREIntergenerational social mobility is a key feature of inequalities in socioeconomic opportunities and rewards. Sociological studies of mobility trends, which focus mainly on occupational mobility, tend to emphasize the mobility opportunities of individuals as The growing share of children in poor single-parent families has generated concern in policy and academic circles. This concern stems not only from the potential hardships children face growing up, but also from the long-term implications of poverty and single parenthood for their success later in life. Children who grow up poor or spend time in a single-parent family are more likely to experience poverty and single parenthood as adults. Prior research demonstrates the intergenerational associations between poverty and family structure, but generally focuses on either poverty or family structure effects without fully accounting for the interdependence of the two.Understanding how poverty and family structure are transmitted from one generation to the next requires a careful accounting of the correlation between poverty and family structure within a generation, as well as the potential interactions between poverty and family structure across generations. Estimating the direct intergenerational effects of poverty and family structure are critical for mapping the processes through which poverty and single parenthood matter for children -and for designing policies to best address the needs of families.We investigate the interdepen...
