Ties to Conventional Institutions and Delinquency: Estimating Reciprocal Effects.

Liska, Allen E.; Reed, Mark D.

American Sociological Review, v50 n4 p547-60 Aug 1985

Describes research that examined the relationship between juvenile delinquency and ties to conventional institutions (such as parents and school). Reports that the effects of attachment and delinquency are reciprocal and contingent on social status. Challenges the use of previous findings which showed a negative effect of attachment on delinquency to support social control theory. (KH)
