Supporting evidence — 6 representative gaps

• Future orientation of institutionalized and noninstitutionalized delinquents and nondelinquents (1980) · European Journal of Social Psychology · doi

  The literature has predominantly explained delinquency in terms of socio-structural conditions and/or as a result of certain personality characteristics or traits, but has not considered the relationship between delinquency, institutionalization, and future orientation. The study aims to fill this gap by analyzing the relationship between delinquency, institutionalization, and future orientation.

• Future orientation of institutionalized and noninstitutionalized delinquents and nondelinquents (1980) · European Journal of Social Psychology · doi

  Future research should consider the long-term effects of institutionalization on delinquents' future orientation. Future research should examine the effectiveness of programs that focus on developing a more positive and realistic future orientation for delinquents. Future research should investigate the social conditions that influence delinquency and future orientation.

• The Public's Views of Delinquency Causation: A Consideration In Comprehensive Juvenile Justice Planning (1978) · Juvenile and Family Court Journal · doi

  There is little available information regarding what factors various segments of the public see as contributing to delinquency. Previous studies have not explored the differential distribution of a large number of potentially causative factors in various segments of the public.

• Adolescent Thieves : Perspective of Persistence (1978) · Sociological Bulletin · doi

  The study identifies a gap in existing research on delinquency and alienation. It highlights the need for further research on the relationships between delinquents, their families, and society. The paper suggests that existing research has not adequately addressed the factors contributing to delinquency.

• Systematic Bias in Measuring Self‐Reported Delinquency* (1969) · Canadian Review of Sociology/Revue canadienne de sociologie · doi

  The study identifies a gap in the understanding of the relationship between self-reported delinquency and other measures of delinquency. The study highlights the need for further research on the concept of delinquency. The study suggests that the problem surrounding the definition of delinquency has made it unclear whether we are measuring a single concept, different dimensions of a single concept, or several distinct concepts.

• Adolescent Thieves : Perspective of Persistence (1978) · Sociological Bulletin · doi

  Future research should examine the role of other factors, such as education and employment, in delinquency. It should investigate the effectiveness of family-based interventions and community programs. The study suggests that further research is needed to understand the relationships between delinquents, their families, and society.
