Perceived parental care and supervision: Relations with cognitive representations of future offending in a sample of young offenders
Article Abstract:
Study is conducted which focuses on the relations of two dimensions of perceived child-rearing practices, care and protection as measured by the Parental Bonding Instrument and on cognitive representations of future offending in a sample of 152 young offenders. It is found that the young offenders' intention to reoffend were predicted by attitudes towards offending and perceived behavioral control of future offending, whereas parental variables were redundant in predicting behavioral intentions of reoffending.
