We used data sets from two longidudinal studies, the Pitsburg youth study (N=474) and the Child-Rearing and family in the Netherlands Study (N=128), each with assessment periods covering at least 10 years. The lack of orderly activities within the family during adolescence was a stong predictor of delinquency in young adulthood, once prior agresson and demographic variables were considered. No evidence was found for a relashionship between authoritarian and authoritative parenting styles and later delinquency. Furthermore, previously identified family factors such as socioeconomic status, supervision, punishment and attachment were not related to delinquent behaviour in young adulthood. tEuropean journal of criminology. - Vol.4,nº2 (apr.2007),p.161-194 aRELAÇÕES FAMILIARES aESTUDO DE CASOSyHOLANDA aHoeve, Macheteld
