Social and Parenting Factors Affecting Criminal-Offence Rates

Abstract: A rare opportunity to study deprivation and criminality across generations arose from the follow-up of the families who participated in the Newcastle Thousand Family Survey. The data on these families had been preserved and it was possible, using criminal records, to examine longitudinally whether children who grew up in 'deprived' rather than 'non-deprived' families were more at risk of offending during later childhood and beyond. The results of this study suggest that this is indeed so.

“…A long history of research has examined the 'broken home'-crime link (West and Farrington, 1977;Loeber and Dishion, 1983;Loeber and Stouthamer-Loeber, 1986;McCord, 1991;Newson et al, 1993;Farrington, 1995;Juby and Farrington, 2001) revealing a number of important mediating factors, such as the reason for the broken home, the subsequent family situation, the quality of parenting and conflict within the family. Other reports have established a link between parental rejection and delinquent behaviour (Simons et al, 1989) or general poor parental child rearing, particularly supervision and communication (Kolvin et al, 1988;Stouthamer-Loeber et al, 1993). Once again, however, most studies have focused on the impact of these varying family difficulties on boys, and there is little information on outcomes for girls.…”

“…Il est égale-ment courant de retrouver des associations entre les conduites antisociales et les pratiques éducatives des parents (Loeber et StouthamerLoeber, 1986). C'est ainsi que les soins et l'affection, de même que les pratiques éducatives seraient plus déficitaires dans ces familles (Kolvin et al, 1988 ;McCord, 1979 ;Pakiz et al, 1997).…”

“…Du point de vue des facteurs de risque familiaux et sociaux, les jeunes qui manifestent des conduites antisociales proviennent plus souvent de familles comportant davantage d'enfants (West et Farrington, 1973) et soumises à des conditions adverses telles que la pauvreté et la dépendance de la sécurité du revenu (Fergusson et al, 1996 ;Kolvin et al, 1988 ;Pakiz et al, 1997 ;Stattin et Magnusson, 1991 ;Werner et Smith, 1992). Les travaux de recherche indiquent également un risque accru de difficultés chez les enfants provenant de familles monoparentales (McLanahan et Booth, 1989).…”

“…These include a family history of antisocial behaviour, low verbal IQ, low school attainment, stressful family circumstances such as economic deprivation, family conflict, large family size or family disruption (such as broken homes, multiple separations or changes of residence), neglectful parenting (lack of supervision and norms), harsh, cruel or abusive discipline, and a history of childhood disruptive behaviour (such as hyperactivity, conduct disorder, oppositional behaviour and low academic achievement) (Kolvin et al, 1988;McCord, 1988;Eron, Huesmann, and Zelli, 1991;Farrington, 1995).…”
