Middle-Class Vandalism and Age-Status Conflict.

Richards, Pamela

Social Problems, v26 n4 p482-97 Apr 1979

Analysis of self-report data from middle class adolescents shows that both peer relationships and elements of adult-child conflict affect the probability of vandalism. The strongest factors are peer-related, possibly because vandalism may be seen as a way of establishing positions within peer hierarchies. (Author/MC)
