Abstract This paper will touch base on some data taken from the Gluecks classic study in 1940. In which he interviewed a sample of delinquents and non-delinquents boys ages 14, 25, and 32. Nonetheless these boys were reared in low-income neighborhoods. Based on concrete theory of informal social controls, I proposition a 2-step hypothesis that links structure and process: family poverty inhibits family processes of informal social contract, in turn increasing the likelihood of juvenile delinquency. This is very important to me because I have a willing mine to try and come up with an idea to …show more content…
S. is concentrated in urban areas. Specifically, while the 20 largest cities in American accounted for approximately one-third of all homicides in 1992, their population represents approximately one-eighth of the nation. Much research in criminology has linked the probability of a child becoming involved in crime with his having grown up in a poor family, and/or in neighborhoods with high crime and poverty rates. Between 1970 and 1990, the number of Americans living in high poverty in American living in high census tract nearly doubled. The growth in the concentration of poverty in America and its potential effects on adolescent crime is of considerable importance since the spatial distribution of poor families is closely related to government decisions regarding how to provide housing services to poor families and pertaining to the construction of public housing contribute to the high rise of juvenile
