The effect of family and its structure on delinquency, in particular juvenile
delinquency, has been the object of a wealth of notable research, all of which
suggest that family is by far the most important factor in individuals' law
abiding behavior and delinquency in a society. Surveying two samples i.e.
juvenile delinquents and well-behaved minors in Shiraz, the present study
examined this very issue and yielded results supporting, to a great extent,
those obtained by previous research. In this study, 19 independent variables
as the family structure variables influencing youth crime were tested using a
questionnaire. The research hypothesis holds that these variables are
significantly correlated to juvenile offending. The results indicated that, on the
one hand, there is a significant relationship between delinquency among the
samples and variables including place of birth, disability, adherence to
religious values, parental monitoring, maternal employment, home
ownership, family breakdown, and drug and alcohol abuse among family
members, which supported the hypotheses.On the other hand, delinquency,
the results suggested, is not significantly related to variables including
household income, paternal employment, satisfying economic needs, parental
education, family intimacy, stuttering, family dysfunction, and contact with
friends, rejecting the corresponding hypotheses.
