Also: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0022427820986592 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Delinquency/Gang Activity; Event History; Siblings Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Method: The study uses the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 to examine the transmission of gang membership among similar-aged siblings. These data offer the opportunity to use siblings' self-report of gang involvement as a determinant of focal youths' self-report of gang involvement while treating gang entry, persistence, and exit (and reentry) as unique transitions with potentially asymmetric determinants. Results: Results from the event history models indicate that gang involved siblings increase the hazard of entry and re-entry into the gang but have little influence on exit decisions. Sibling configurations with respect to sex and age-order further conditions these relations, with brothers and older siblings most influential. |
