Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: In this paper we test Hirschi�s social control theory on delinquent behavior among youth. We provide a slight alteration to the classic social control theory to account for the impact of delinquent peers. We rely on data from the Reconnecting Youth (RY) prevention program, a skills training curriculum. Building on school-based interventions, RY is a comprehensive drug use prevention program that targets high school aged youth at risk of school dropout. First, we will use cross-sectional data (baseline information) to assess the impact of social control mechanism (attachment, commitment, involvement, and belief) on different delinquency outcomes. Second, we will estimate how well social control theory variables explain changes in deviant behavior using a growth model from data at five time points. Four separate delinquent outcomes are of interest and one cumulative measure of delinquent behavior. We explore the mechanisms underneath the observed relationships between variables, particularly between conventional and delinquent peer bonds. We provide an account of how dimensions of social control may differ for explaining changes in delinquent behavior.
