Abstract: Research has indicated family factors play a critical role in juvenile delinquency. Lack of family stability, low socioeconomic status, and poor parenting skills have been related to delinquent behavior. The parents' and child's reported perceptions and attitudes have been a useful means for examining the family system and its contributing role in delinquency. Yet, research had yielded conflicting findings and skepticism concerning the validity of parents' reports for their child-rearing attitudes. Few studies have cross-validated the parents' reports with children's reports of parents' behavior.
