“…That the children belonging to intact families (i.e. living with both biological parents) are less prone to crime causation than children belonging to the single-parent family (Sogar, 2017) contradicts with the present study. Parents staying together cannot alone provide a loving stable family environment.…”

Purpose of the study: To explore and analyze the influence of various parental risk factors contributing to the development of delinquency in children. Methodology: A total of hundred and sixteen juvenile delinquents (100 boys and 16 girls) in the age range of 11- 18 years, residing in the four Government-run Observation and Special Homes (O&SHs) of Odisha. Descriptive statistics (i.e., percent) and qualitative method (i.e. narrative) have been used to analyze the data. Main Findings: Absence of proper parental guidance and supervision is found to be the major cause of delinquency in children. Parental rejection and deprivation i.e. mother’s love and emotional support is the major cause of delinquency in girls. Lack of parental involvement and less quality time spent by parents with boys are the main reasons behind their delinquency. Applications of this study: The results of this study imply the need to conduct further research about parenting behavior and their attitude towards their children from a gender-based perspective. It also implies the need for a greater number of studies to be carried out on Indian parents and their attitude and behavior towards their children in general and based on the child’s gender in particular. Novelty/Originality of this study: The present study tries to address one of the many gaps existing in the literature regarding the matter of parenting style adopted by parents leading to delinquency in children. It further shows the difference in parental attitude and behavior towards their son’s and daughter’s leading to delinquency.

“…Parents are the main and most intimate socialization agent fundamentally influential of youths’ various aspects of development, in which actions of parental figures performed and the socialization environments they created are generally referred as parental socialization [2,7,9]. Nevertheless, prior family research tended to treat parenting practices of parental caregivers tantamount to parental socialization, therefore overlooking the effects of other parental socialization facets on youth development [1,7,9].…”

“…However, family processes mean the general relational quality, communication patterns and home climate that parents cultivated and established within the family realm as an overall socialization atmosphere, which is thus more reciprocal and interdependent in terms of parent-child relationships [8,9]. In sum, both parenting practices and family processes have been empirically proved to affect youth development profoundly, for which authoritative parenting and positive family processes are two parental socialization facets beneficially contributing to youth development [2,6,10,13].…”

“…Theoretically and practically, family experiences have profound influences on youth development, which are mainly through the process of parental socialization [1,2,3,4]. Nevertheless, prior family studies generally considered parenting practices as tantamount to parental socialization, ignoring its multifaceted nature [5,6].…”

“…Furthermore, youth development involves multiple aspects of cognitive, psychological and behavioral changes synchronously [10,12]. However, extant research predominantly examined only one or two youth outcomes in a single study [1,2,5], which hence tends to overlook diverse and interrelated aspects of youth development.…”

Parental socialization has been recently reported as a multifaceted concept, which includes parenting practices and family processes. Nevertheless, prior family research generally treated parental socialization tantamount to parenting behavior only and overlooked its different effects on multiple youth outcomes simultaneously, especially in the Chinese population. This study, with a sample of 223 Chinese parent-youth dyads (80.7% mothers; 55.6% male youths; meanage = 16.7 years), found that both authoritative parenting and positive family processes, as measured by a multi-informant approach, significantly predicted higher self-esteem, self-control, future orientation, other perspective taking and lower externalizing problem behavior of Chinese youths concomitantly. Furthermore, youth self-esteem was found to significantly mediate the effects of authoritative parenting and positive family processes on their self-control, future orientation, other perspective taking and externalizing problem behavior, and different facets of parental socialization significantly predicted the youth outcomes differentially. Results of this study highlight importance of considering the multifaceted nature of parental socialization and interrelations of youth development.

Addressing a gap in the extant literature on single-parent families and juvenile delinquency, we distinguish between different types of single-parent families. Using Dutch population register data on nearly 1.3 million children, we performed logistic regressions to assess the relation between growing up in a single-parent family before age 12 and the likelihood to engage in juvenile delinquency during adolescence. Our findings suggest that the likelihood of juvenile delinquency increases (1) when children are born to a single parent, followed by children with separated parents and children experiencing parental death, compared to children growing up with both biological parents; (2) when the single-parent family started at a younger age; and (3) when children grow up with only a biological mother, for both sons and daughters, compared to only a biological father. The relationship between growing up in single-parent families and juvenile delinquency is much more complex than often assumed. Future research should pay more attention to diversity in the composition of single-parent families.
