Home or alone: the costs of independent living for youth
Article Abstract:
A study of young people in Australian cities shows that decisions to leave the parental home are often linked to marriage and having children. Earning ability affects young people's decisions to stay at home or live alone. Housing costs also affect decisions to live alone. Males are more likely to live at home than are females, and are also more likely to live with unrelated adults, partly because they marry later than females. Young people with many siblings are more likely to leave home as are those with step-parents.

The interest in evil: hierarchic self-interest and right-wing extremism among East and West German youth
Article Abstract:
An elaboration of a rational choice theory of right-wing extremism that focuses on hierarchic and self-interested imperatives in market-driven societies is evaluated. The elaboration of the theory identifies four social psychological dimensions that promote competition, individualism, inequality and material success. These four dimensions coalesce into a latent structure of hierarchic self-interest which is found to be strongly related to right-wing extremism among samples of East and West German youth.

Getting into street crime: the structure and process of criminal embeddedness
Article Abstract:
Granovetter's research on embeddedness, Coleman's work on social capital and Sutherland's theory of differential association reveal that embeddedness in associations provides approach to tutelage relationships that encourage crime. Crime results from predetermined characteristics and the ignorance of the impact of life on adolescents diminishes the importance of social embeddedness in a crimonogenic environment.
