Youthful Arrest and Parental Support: Gendered Effects in Straining the Parent–Child Relationship Deviant Behavior 36,8 (2015): 674-690. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01639625.2014.951584 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Arrests; Delinquency/Gang Activity; Gender Differences; Parent-Child Relationship/Closeness; Parental Influences Much research confirms the importance of the quality of the parent–child relationship on youth involvement in delinquency. Yet, few have examined this in reverse order, that is, how an arrest for delinquency impacts the parent–child relationship. This article explores the effects of arrest on the child's perceived level of parental support using youth survey data for the nation. Among non-arrested youth, parental support experiences a gradual decline during the early teen years, and a considerable rebound in the late teen years. Among arrested youth, support shows sharper drops and recoveries over the teen years. Controlling for a set of social, legal, and demographic items, we examine the effects of the number of arrests on parental support with multinomial logistic regression, noting several gender effects. First, we find that arrests predict lower levels of support for mothers, but not for fathers. An equally noteworthy finding is that boys report more parental support than girls do, regardless of parent gender. |
