- Title
Father's Family Violence and Son's Delinquency: Conflict Tactics, Bonding, and Serious Juvenile Crime in the Mexican-American Family.

Murata, JoEllen M.
- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify patterns in the Mexican-American family associated with delinquency. If it is possible to predict the law violations of a boy based on information about his family, it follows that interventions in the family may prevent delinquency. This research focused on family patterns amenable to early detection and subsequent intervention.
