Abstract

This study sought to determine whether volume of time spent by adolescents (ages 12-18) with their families (parent/elder present) and the existence of family dysfunctional factors (substance use, domestic abuse, and negative well-being within the family) shared a relationship with adolescent experience in court adjudication and juvenile delinquency behaviors. Results indicated that adolescents experiencing greater volume of family contact tended to have less involvement with both court adjudication and delinquency behaviors (r = -.16 to -.38). Increased frequency of family dysfunctional factors served as a predictor of adolescent involvement with court adjudication and juvenile delinquency (r = .24 to .59).
