Screening of Youth at Risk for Delinquency in Oregon, 1980-1985
Description
This is a longitudinal study of three birth cohorts of
youngsters who were considered at risk because of anti-social behavior
or because of officially recorded delinquency at early ages. The study
followed a sample of 245 boys in the fourth, seventh, and tenth grades
in 1980 (Part 1) and again in 1985 (Part 2). Two screening devices, or
"gatings," were used to predict future delinquency. The first
procedure, triple gating, was based on teachers' ratings of school
competence, mothers' reports of anti-social behavior in the home, and
parental monitoring. The second procedure, double gating, used only
the teachers' ratings and mothers' reports. Data were collected on the
boys' family, school, and criminal backgrounds. Variables include
measures of independence and achievement, family criminality, home
conduct problems, school disruptiveness, school competence, parental
authoritarianism, parental conflict, self-reported delinquency, peer
delinquency, and drug and alcohol use.
