Hurrelmann, Klaus; Engel, Uwe

Deviant behavior in adolescence was studied using 1,717 west German adolescent students (51 percent males) aged 12 to 16 years. Questionnaire data were analyzed. Results show that increased rate of delinquency occurs with difficulties connected with integration into the network of academic performance and problems with peer group recognition. (SLD)
