Criminology Sociology Parenting delinquency emerging adulthood crime life course While there is a long tradition of studying parent-child relations during adolescence and their impact on delinquency, the focus shifts to institutions such as marriage and employment as the individual moves into adulthood. Given that emerging adulthood is a time of instability and exploration, young adults are in the process of becoming fully vested in these roles. Consequently, it is useful to examine how the parent-child bond over the life course continues to inform and shape behavior beyond adolescence. Using data from the Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study (TARS), I examine the influence of parental involvement on patterns of offending among emerging adults interviewed first as adolescents and later as adults average 20 years of age. I examine how both early and later parenting factors such as caring, trust, identity support, monitoring and conflict influence offending in emerging adulthood. Results show that parenting continues to matter as young people navigate the transition to adulthood. Specifically, ongoing support by parents is associated with lower offending in emerging adulthood. Additionally, early monitoring continues to exert an effect beyond adolescence. Furthermore, parenting matters even after controlling for peer influence and prior delinquency. This suggests the importance of examining multiple ways in which parental resources and support influence adult behavior and well-being. 2010-07-14 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1271095765 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1271095765 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
