Juvenile Delinquency and Gender Revisited: The Family and Power-Control Theory Reconceived
Open accessAbstract
Cross-cultural evidence on the gender gap in delinquency is presented. Based on power-control theory (PCT), gender differences in aggressive behaviour are analysed. We assume that differences in labour force participation between father and mother lead to differences in parental control behaviour towards boys and girls, which in turn lead to different risk-taking preferences and eventually produce gender differences in aggressive behaviour. A revised PCT acknowledges that dominance ideologies also play a role in the genesis of gender differences in delinquency. This proposition is also tested. Analyses are based on data from 319 families (father, mother and two adolescent opposite-sex siblings) from West Berlin, East Berlin and Toronto. The findings support assumptions of PCT but differ substantially between the three cities. Evidence of the link between structural patriarchy and parental style – postulated in the original PCT – is found in East Berlin, whereas the West Berlin and Toronto results fit a modified version of PCT featuring gender-role attitudes (ideological patriarchy).

The behavior of young individuals can be attributed to the influence of both their parents and society.
“The study conducted by Hadjar, Baier, Boehnke, and Hagan (2007) found that the behavior of young individuals can be attributed to the influence of both their parents and society.”
From Examining the Relationship between Poverty and Juvenile Delinquency Trends in a Developing Country (2024) · cites this paper as Hadjar, Baier, Boehnke, and Hagan (2007)
The indexed record for Hadjar et al. (2007) says “No full text” and provides bibliographic details, not the study’s findings (repository record, no page). Searches for parental and societal influences returned passages about other works, but no passage from the cited study that verifies the claim. (LLM, conf=0.78)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
