- Abstract
Researchers applied the General Health Ques- tionnaire (GHQ), The Civilian Mississippi Scale for PTSD (CMPTSD), and the Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ) to non-offender Kuwaiti juveniles, who ranged in age from 12 to 18 years, and included 101 males and 54 females, 76 were non- offenders, and 81 were offenders, representing all six geographical governorates, and an offender group currently incarcerated. A second group was formed, comprised of the parents or primary caregivers of the juvenile offenders and the non-offenders. Parents and juveniles were administered the GHQ and the CMPTSD scales, to determine the relationship between trauma exposure, parenting styles, and juvenile delinquency.
