Wilson. An interesting article from the Atlantic Monthy, October 1983, issue. A large number of studies are surveyed to find out why some children grow up to be delinquent. A frequent thread is that children raised by parents who are hostile or indifferent to their children, combined with lax or erratic disciplinary measures, are a strong predictor of future juvenile delinquency problems. Children with a strong bond to their family and subject to consistent rewards and punishments in regard to their behavior are far less likely to turn to a life of crime.<\/p>\n<h2>The Need for Supervision<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/publications.aap.org\/pediatrics\/article-abstract\/110\/6\/e66\/64507\/When-and-Where-Do-Youths-Have-Sex-The-Potential?redirectedFrom=fulltext?autologincheck=redirected\">When and Where Do Youths Have Sex?
