Theoretical Predictors Of Delinquency Among Public School Students In A Mid-Southern State, Preston Elrod, Nathan Lowe, David May

Our findings suggest the impact of theoretical predictors on delinquency varies not only by gender, but by social context as well. Implications for policy and future research are discussed.
