Family experience in preadolescence and the development of male delinquency
Article Abstract:
Three aspects of family life, namely, parenting practices, family structure, and parent-child relations, have significant influence on the growth of juvenile delinquency. Intelligence, family problem solving, peer relations, and socioeconomic status also exert influence. The preadolescent period can be recognized as the foreteller of delinquency because a child's character is established by that time. Changes in family structure affect male children more than female children. Influence of family factors that start before the age of 14 are more effective in predicting delinquency.

A social-structural explanation of men's and women's domestic responsibility: a reply to Hawkins and Olsen
Article Abstract:
The analysis of human capital and structural models of the determinants of responsibility for child care arrangements was not meant to predict future trends in the responsibility of husbands and wives. Several changes would be needed in the aspects of employment to produce changes in the sharing of responsibility, including number of hours worked by women and number of children in the family.
