Others have conducted extensive studies of work values for the general populace, this present study, using findings derived from the 1980 New Youth Survey of more than 12,000 youths by the National Longitudinal Surveys of Labor Market, concentrates on the 15- to 17-year-old delinquent population. A delinquency profile is developed and through cross-tabulation and logistic regression its relationship to the variable, work values in 1979, is determined. Results of the analysis indicate that a 'nonrelationship' exists between delinquency and work values. Even as delinquency increases, work values tend to remain stable.
