Age and Differential Predictability of Delinquent Behavior.

Mann, David W.

Social Forces, v60 n1 p97-113 Sep 1981

Views delinquent behavior as a defense against low self-esteem brought on by poor performance in school. This contention was tested for boys in two age groups (11 to 14, and 15 to 18 years). Findings supported the study's view for older boys but not for the younger age group. (APM)
