“…The absence of mother in the process of growth is a speci c trauma for children. Enough emotional support from mother reduces the occurrence of male adolescents' delinquency, otherwise it contributes to the formation of anti-social personality (VanderPyl, 2018). A longitudinal study revealed that a high quality initial mother-son relationship reduced youth's re-offending, consistent with our study (Cavanagh & Cauffman, 2017).…”

Background: Theft has leaded to significant costs to commerce and legal system, but its psychological mechanisms and risk factors are barely explored. This study aims to investigate the influence of family structure and adult attachment style on theft behaviors in men. Methods: 257 men with a conviction for theft (theft group) and 405 male college students (control group) were interviewed with Experiences in Close Relationships Scale and a general questionnaire about socio-demographic information, family structure and criminal records. Results: Compared with control group, long-term residency, family economic situation, number of siblings, father’s presence before 5 years old, parents’ state of existence and parents’ marital status of theft group were significantly different (P<0.05). Living in urban area, from relatively poor family, not living with father before 5 years old and parents not divorced increased the likelihood of theft in men (P<0.05). While father not alive and having no siblings decreased the likelihood of theft in men (P<0.05). Then theft group was further divided into first offender group and recidivist group. First offender group had a significantly higher proportion of living with mother/father before 5 years old and father alive than recidivist group (P<0.05). Not living with mother before 5 years old and father not alive increased the possibility of multiple thefts, while preoccupied attachment decreased such possibility (P<0.05). Conclusions: This study suggested that risk factors for theft and multiple thefts were different. A variety of targeted strategies related to family structure and attachment styles are needed to prevent theft from occurring and reoccurring.

“…The fact has been unable to achieve the ideal life while still making their parents happy leads to a disconnect between their ideal self and their actual self. The vast majority of adolescents should be under the belief that they have caused their parent's unnecessary pain and suffering as a consequence of their decisions (VanderPyl, 2018). Because the crime they committed has caused misfortune to the family, such as a lack of financial assistance and unfavourable stigma from other members of the community.…”

“…More than 60% of women in state prisons have a child under the age of 18 (The Sentencing Project, 2019). Given that mothers are likely to be the primary caregivers of children, incarceration and separation from mothers is often more traumatic and disruptive for children than separation from their fathers (Kremer et al, 2020;VanderPyl, 2018). Furthermore, when mothers are incarcerated, as opposed to fathers, children are more likely to be placed in foster care (Mumola, 2000).…”

All my life I had known my dad had been locked up multiple times. I remember visiting him in county when I was like four. I had always told myself I would not get locked up or in any legal trouble at all. But then I got caught smoking and that's when it all started. I didn't know my dad smoked until after I had gotten in trouble. Then my dad told me I was following in his steps. Especially after he found out my girl was pregnant. My dad had my oldest brother when he was 17. So far, I have followed most of his steps, but I want to break the cycle. I don't want my daughter to know what mistakes I've made. I want to show her my achievements and do well.(John, Solano County Juvenile Hall, 2014).The epigraph from John is an example of intergenerational patterns of incarceration, a common and harmful phenomenon in the United States, particularly in urban, lower-income, communities of color
