• GENETIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENTS OF ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR: A STUDY OF 265 TWIN PAIRS* (1986) · Criminology · cited 115× · doi

Dishonesty is therefore one behavior that can be used as an index of the underlying genetic influences on delinquency; its importance has not been addressed adequately by delinquency theory.

• The Delinquent Girl in Chicago: II. THE INFLUENCE OF BROKEN HOMES AND WORKING MOTHERS (1933) · Smith College Studies in Social Work · cited 9× · doi

  The study suggests that further research is needed to understand the relationship between family factors and delinquency among girls. The research implies that studies should investigate the role of other potential risk factors, such as poverty or lack of education, in delinquency among girls. The study highlights the need for longitudinal studies to examine the long-term effects of broken homes and working mothers on delinquency among girls.
