The present study aimed to examine some family environmental factors that influence delinquency in adolescents. The semi-structured type of interview schedule was used. The total sample of the present study was 300 in number divided in to two group; The first one is 150 male delinquent adolescents were selected. The second group is 150 non -delinquents. Their age -ranging from 12-17 years. The frequency table, percentage and chi -square (X²) were derived and utilized in statistical analysis to assess differences between the two groups of delinquents and non -delinquents on different family environmental variables . The findings indicate that environmental variables like size of the family , economic deprivation , parental deprivation , family discipline , inter parental relationship , child -parent relationship and parental acceptance -rejection play an important and effective role in the developmental growth of personality as well as social behavior of the delinquents . we suggest that family counseling will be an effective way to guide the public to the important of healthy family environment. Also further studies are suggested to have deep analysis for the affect of family environment on causing juvenile delinquency.

“…This would seem to be the outcome of the immigration process, but it is noteworthy that the rejected mother had previously been described as resulting from separation between parents (Gardner, 1956) and, moreover, although inconsistency resulting from this had been noted previously, few workers had attempted to approach the rejected mother neurosis from the therapeutic point of view. We support the views of Rosenthal (1962) who belieed that it is necessary to approach this problem by allowing the mother to be consistent, and by treating the guilt which she experienced but could not talk about. It is, however, difficult to do these things among West Indian mothers who, when compared with native ones, frequently have full-time employment, a finding which seemed related to the greater financial strain faced by these patients, and who are often reluctant to talk to native therapists.…”

Family Stress and the Precipitation of Psychiatric Disorder

A study of family data among immigrant West Indian and Native British patients in Birmingham is described. Predisposing factors--unhappy childhood and a family history of mental disorder--were associated with psychiatric illness but not with ethnic origin. Behaviour disorder among children and broken marriages among family members were not associated with psychiatric illness, but are more prevalent among immigrants. These patients did not admit to a greater prevalence of stress (obtained from 11 factors) but it is noteworthy that family stresses predominated among them rather than other stresses which were more prevalent among natives. Inter-personal conflicts within the family were often believed to have been of aetiological significance among immigrants rather than natives who instead reacted to normal life events. Neurotic syndromes resulting from migration-related separation experiences between parents and children are described.

“…3, pp. Streit (1988). It turned out that the authors had researched a topic which colleagues and myself had reported on many years ago (Rosenthal, Finkelstein, Ni, & Robertson, 1959;Rosenthal, 1962), although their approach and methodology were more refined than ours. They evaluated the influence of both parents on the child, whereas we considered only the motherchild relationship (MCR).…”

“…Inspection of these problems showed that almost all were of an acting out, antisocial character. The child's disobedience was often emphasized by the parent (Rosenthal, 1962). The one definite exception to this way of characterizing the associated problems was the problem of frequent nightmares, which presumably was an indirect expression of anxiety and thereby demonstrated support for the Lazarus thesis.…”
