Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This study exams the effects of key family and school-related factors on predicting arrest in adolescence and early adulthood using data from the Philadelphia Educational Longitudinal Study (PELS). While research in this area has been considerable, it has remained somewhat limited in its sole reliance on teen self-reported surveys for examining both the influences of delinquency and delinquent behavior itself. This paper has the advantage of exploring the first hand perspectives of both teens and their parents, as well as having access to official juvenile and adult arrest records. Results from the various regression models revealed two important results. First, many of the school and family-related factors typically associated with delinquency and arrest did not sustain their effects once demographic controls and interactions were included in the regression model. Secondly, teens who thought that their mothers would be very disappointed if they did not graduate college had higher odds of arrest than those who did not perceive such heightened disappointment--a finding that goes against what I anticipated.
